Common questions in Chilworth
What’s the nearest station to Chilworth?
Chilworth has its own station: Chilworth station.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
