Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. After-work summer events in Charlwood have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Questions from Charlwood
Is Charlwood close to London?
About 24 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards normally work well.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Staff lunches in Charlwood: access and travel
Charlwood is about 3 miles south-west of Horley, in Surrey. Staff events in Charlwood are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day.

For colleagues arriving by train, the closest railway station is Ifield station, roughly 2.8 miles south of the centre. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 7 miles, which suits team days in the countryside.
Wherever your staff event is in RH6, we can fry fresh for your staff. That could mean a staff event at a home on The Street, Yew Tree Road and Rectory Lane, as long as there is somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to staff events in Russ Hill (1 mile south-west), Norwood Hill (2 miles north), Cudworth (2 miles west), Ifieldwood (2 miles south) and Ifield (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Epsom (13 miles north), Horley (3 miles north-east), Redhill (6 miles north-east), Ewell (14 miles north), Reigate (6 miles north) and Caterham (11 miles north-east).

- Local pubs include The Half Moon pub (within half a mile north-west)
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
