Rowly questions
Is Rowly 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.
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 follow the site rules.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can the van come to Rowly?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Rowly is within our area and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What time is best for food?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
