The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Questions from Dora's Green
What’s the nearest station to Dora's Green?
Farnham station, about 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.
How far is Dora's Green from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not 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.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Long summer days in Dora's Green, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
What affects the price in Dora's Green
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
