Common questions in Walton on the Hill
Can the van park in Betchworth Quarry and Lime Kilns?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to a school fair in Walton on the Hill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Contact us with the details.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What are the terms for events?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we will agree terms.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What affects the price in Walton on the Hill
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How the day works
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Evening events in Walton on the Hill have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

What comes out of the fryer
