How fish and chip van hire works in Surrey

Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. We serve curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for Fêtes, fairs and school events and christmas parties.

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving.

First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Cost

A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

A fish and chip van across Surrey: what to know

Across Surrey, we serve 20 towns and 276 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Guildford, Woking and Camberley or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Surrey, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.

Guildford: If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Church of St John the Evangelist, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. PTAs at schools such as Sandfield Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Guildford, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

Events we cater in Surrey

On a grey day, hot fish and chips wins, and the van keeps frying whatever the weather.

Here are some of the occasions we serve in Surrey and Surrey:

Summer garden parties
Gatherings after a funeral
Company team days
Work Christmas parties

A chip van compared with other options

Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork.

What your quote should include

Payment terms and deposit
What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
Any minimum charge
How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun

Allergies and dietary needs

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Put allergy details in writing

The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.

Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

What comes out of the fryer

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.

What affects the price in Surrey

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

How easy the site is to reach
The length of service
The number of meals
Whether a minimum applies

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.

What to tell us

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

Where the van would park
The address or venue name
A photo of the parking spot
Roughly how many people, including children

Surrey questions

What happens if it rains?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

What about guests who don’t eat fish?

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

What food do you serve?

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Can you feed a lot of people?

That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.

What happens when we hire the van?

We arrive with the van, cook fresh on site, and serve when you are ready to eat.
