Fresh fish and chips in Holbrook
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

FAQs for Holbrook
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Holbrook too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Food early on is generally wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
We do. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Send round an allergy question
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
Working with your venue

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Curry sauce

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In December, it is dark in Holbrook by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

A winter fair at a school like Holbrook Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St. Mark's Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. Holbrook is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
