FAQs for Lower Eashing
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Lower Eashing?
The closest is Godalming station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Put allergy details in writing
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Agree the spot with the venue
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
