What affects the price in Munstead Heath
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Munstead Heath questions
Can you come to a school fair in Munstead Heath?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
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.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
What do you need on the pitch?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
