Whitewood: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Whitewood?
Godstone station, about 2.2 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Whitewood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve in the cold?
The van copes fine. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening generally works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
Afterwards, we pack up.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
