Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Put allergy details in writing

Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Fish and chip van hire in Brewer Street, cooked to order
There’s something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Whether it is gatherings after a funeral and work Christmas parties, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and gravy and more.
For a rural spot like Brewer Street, the setting does a lot of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
For event organisers in Brewer Street
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

FAQs for Brewer Street
Which station is closest to Brewer Street?
The closest is Merstham station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come to Brewer Street?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Brewer Street and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is it a full meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll plan it with you.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, 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.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Brewer Street?
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A van that becomes part of the event

- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
