In a rural place like Crowhurst Lane End, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Crowhurst Lane End questions
Is Crowhurst Lane End too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St George?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What is fish and chip van hire?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Can the van come to Crowhurst Lane End?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Crowhurst Lane End and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
