How we price a fish and chip van
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Ewshot
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll recommend what fits. On the menu are curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are often booked for village fêtes and school fairs and gatherings after a funeral.
In a hamlet or village like Ewshot, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
FAQs for Ewshot
Is Ewshot close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Ewshot?
The closest is Farnham station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Which fish do you use?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Bringing the van to Ewshot
Ewshot is about 2 miles south of Fleet, in Surrey. Around Ewshot, we park wherever there is level, firm ground. Ewshot is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Ewshot to Guildford (11 miles away).
If you had Basingbourne Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. Churches such as St Mary's Church rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does.
We cover events in every part of the GU10 postcode area. Whether your event is on Woodpecker Close, Nuthatch Close and Church Lane or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you.

The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. In Ewshot, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.

- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
