How our fish and chip van hire works in Beare Green
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater staff lunches and team days and fish and chip days at care homes.
In a small place like Beare Green, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Events we cater in Beare Green
People book a chip van because it is food and a bit of fun at once. The hatch becomes a meeting point, and the food is hot and plentiful.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:
- Staff lunches and team days
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Birthday celebrations
- Christmas parties
Parks such as Newdigate Brickworks typically need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.

Beare Green questions
Can the van go 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.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is it a full meal?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
