Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Aaron's Hill
What’s the nearest station to Aaron's Hill?
The closest is Godalming station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can the van go 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.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can the van come to base?
Usually, if there is level, firm ground. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. On a winter shoot near Aaron's Hill, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
