FAQs for Hookwood
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.
Which station is closest to Hookwood?
Horley station, about 1.2 miles east of the centre.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it is a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you invoice the company?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Hookwood, cooked to order
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. For retirement send-offs and lunch for site crews, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural businesses around Hookwood can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
