Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Venues frequently 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 work through them with you.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Share the shift pattern
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect allergies in advance
We can serve each shift in turn.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Where the van can park in Abinger
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your staff can wander over to the hatch once service starts. For a staff lunch in Abinger, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
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.
Common questions in Abinger
Is Abinger too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you come to Abinger?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Abinger. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
