Fish and chip van hire in Highstreet Green, cooked to order
Rain doesn’t stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. Whether it’s fish and chip days at care homes and staff lunches and team days, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Somewhere as small as Highstreet Green, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Highstreet Green: your questions answered
Is Highstreet Green close to London?
About 35 miles from central London.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Light matters for evening service: in Highstreet Green, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
