What else we do in Betchworth
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
