FAQs for Holmethorpe
Could you trade in Nutfield Marshes?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
