Runfold questions
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.
Is Runfold close to London?
About 35 miles from central London.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Who books corporate fish and chip catering in Runfold?
It works across shifts, with service timed to each break.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Leaving dos
- Summer staff parties
- Warehouse, depot and site teams
- Celebrating a big win
Within reach of Runfold are historic houses such as Farnham Castle (2.2 miles west) and Wanborough Manor (4.2 miles east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for vehicles.

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your staff event. In Runfold, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Ask for a quote
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
