How our fish and chip van hire works in Ansteadbrook

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Light matters for evening service: in Ansteadbrook, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Ansteadbrook
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Ansteadbrook from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Ansteadbrook?

Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
