About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Common questions in Conford
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.
Is Conford too small for a chip van?

How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Evenings in Conford stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- 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.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
