Fish and chip van hire in Berrylands
Fish and chip van hire in Berrylands, fried fresh
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches and garden parties and summer get-togethers, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
In a London neighbourhood like Berrylands, the van typically parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so let us know about off-street space or permits. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Bringing the van to Berrylands
Berrylands is about 1 mile east of Surbiton, in Greater London. Events in Berrylands are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We serve all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. You can also see our page for London, about 11 miles away.
A green space like Beverley Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Nearby historic houses include Hampton Court Palace (2.4 miles west) and Southside House (2.6 miles north-east). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you are booking one.
We cover events in every part of the KT5, KT3 and KT6 postcode area. Local streets include Park Road, The Avenue and Regent Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Berrylands, we also cover Tolworth (1 mile south), Surbiton (1 mile west), Old Malden (1 mile south-east), Worcester Park (2 miles south-east) and Chessington (2 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to London (11 miles north-east), City of Westminster (10 miles north-east), Marylebone (10 miles north-east), Kensington (8 miles north-east), St Pancras (12 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (13 miles north-east).
A little further out are Bentall Centre (1.5 miles north-west) and Municipal Borough of Malden and Coombe (1.1 miles east). The countryside around Berrylands includes Kingston Hill Road area and The Lake.
- Nearby schools include The Hollyfield School and Sixth Form Centre (0.7 miles west) and Kingston School of Art (1 mile north-west)
- Local pubs include Coronation Hall pub (0.9 miles west)
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there’s nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Bookings across Greater London, including Berrylands
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A van that becomes part of the event
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Count children separately
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Berrylands until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
