Lindford: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Lindford?
Liphook station, about 3.9 miles south-east of the centre.
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 paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
What do we need to supply?
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.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
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.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you cover Lindford?
We do. Lindford is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go

What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Lunchtime bookings in Lindford are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
