Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Highstreet Green
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Highstreet Green?
The closest is Witley station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Agree who removes waste
- Set a time for helpers’ food
Plan where the queue forms.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
