What else we do in Ockford Ridge
What affects the price in Ockford Ridge
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

What happens on the day
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. For a staff lunch in Ockford Ridge, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
A chip van compared with other options
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A quote that spells everything out
- Bookings across Surrey, including Ockford Ridge
