FAQs for Millbridge
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 follow the site rules.
Could you trade in Underdown nature reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Lunchtime staff treats in Millbridge are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.

- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
