We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. Whether it’s summer staff parties and a monthly Fish Friday, we can cook sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
Near Penton Hook, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Penton Hook: your questions answered
Can the van park in Penton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Penton Hook?
Chertsey station, about 1.5 miles south of the centre.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards usually work well.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Staff lunches
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
