Common questions in Northchapel
What’s the nearest station to Northchapel?
Haslemere station, about 4 miles north-west of the centre.
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.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before booking.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
There is 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.

The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. Lunchtime bookings in Northchapel are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue
How to get a price
