A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Common questions in Pachesham Park
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Pachesham Park too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Pachesham Park, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day

- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
