Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park

- The address or venue name
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- We cover Wisley and the whole of Surrey
- Classic food your visitors already know
- A van that becomes part of the event

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Agree who removes waste
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Give us an idea of numbers
Plan where the queue forms.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Details of any power or water on site
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
On the menu in Wisley
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Wisley
Could you trade in Manor Farm?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come 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 will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
What are the terms for events?
Tell us how your event typically works with traders, and we’ll find something that works.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
