Running an event in Mickleham
Mickleham is about 2 miles south of Leatherhead, in Surrey. People in Mickleham book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We take the van to all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Mickleham to Guildford (11 miles away).
School fairs, for a school like St Michael's CofE Aided Infant School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van. Events in parks such as Norbury Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. Events in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 2 miles of Mickleham, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
We serve events across RH5 and the streets around it. We can serve an event on streets such as Old London Road, School Lane and Dell Close, wherever the van can park. Other places close to Mickleham we cover include Westhumble (1 mile south-west), Leatherhead (2 miles north), Pixham (2 miles south), Fetcham (2 miles north-west) and Great Bookham (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (11 miles west), Woking (11 miles west), Epsom (5 miles north-east), Horley (9 miles south-east), Redhill (7 miles east) and Ewell (6 miles north-east).

About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access that avoids crowds
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- What’s available on the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
