Common questions in Tolworth

What’s the nearest station to Tolworth?

The closest is Tolworth station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Could you trade in Hogsmill LNR?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.

Do you do Christmas markets?

Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Get in touch with the date.

Will the weather be a problem?

Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.

How long are you on site?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Do we need to provide equipment?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

What affects the price in Tolworth

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Cod, haddock or both
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • How long we serve
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

What we need to know

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • The venue or postcode
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

How it works

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. It gets dark in Tolworth by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

How to prepare

  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Let us know the serving time

Planning help

What the van needs

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

As a London location, Tolworth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Popular choices

  • Curry sauce
  • Cod and chips
  • Gravy
  • Haddock and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Pie and chips

Should I sort the food myself?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

Choosing a fish and chip van

For planners, venues and organisers

Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Choose a lit spot for the van
  • Check the van can park on site
  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Confirm allergies by email

Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.

Crackers on the tables finish it off.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
