Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a staff treat people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Woodmansterne: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Woodmansterne?
Woodmansterne has its own station: Chipstead station.
Could you trade in Fames Rough?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll go through it with you.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
Planning a team lunch in Woodmansterne
Woodmansterne is about 1 mile west of Coulsdon, in Surrey. Woodmansterne is well within our area, so your staff event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Woodmansterne is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is London, about 13 miles away.

For staff events in SM7 and CR5, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Whether your staff event is on Upper Pines, Pine Walk and Water Mead or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. We also bring the van to staff events in Chipstead (1 mile south), Banstead (1 mile north-west), Coulsdon (1 mile east), Little Woodcote (2 miles north) and Woodcote Green (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Epsom (5 miles west), Horley (9 miles south), Redhill (5 miles south), Ewell (5 miles north-west), Reigate (6 miles south) and Walton-on-Thames (11 miles north-west).

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- Access and parking
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
