Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Where the van can park in Worplesdon
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Access that avoids crowds
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Worplesdon
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Worplesdon?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
