A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Common questions in Pirbright
Could you trade in Burner's Heath and Swallows Pond?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Pirbright from London?
About 28 miles from central London.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips

What else we do in Pirbright
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. It gets dark in Pirbright by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
