Fish and chip van hire in East Clandon, cooked to order
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around East Clandon. Whether it’s big birthdays and garden parties and summer get-togethers, we can cook mushy peas, gravy and sausage and chips for your guests.
Somewhere as small as East Clandon, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

East Clandon: your questions answered
Which station is closest to East Clandon?
The closest is Clandon station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Thomas of Canterbury: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Which fish do you use?
