Common questions in Strood Green
What’s the nearest station to Strood Green?
The closest is Betchworth station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Is Strood Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Do you come to Strood Green?
Yes, we do. Strood Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What will facilities need from you?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why us?
- A clear quote before booking
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cover Strood Green and the whole of Surrey
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
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.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. For an end-of-day event in Strood Green, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
