Fish and chip van hire in Lower Green, cooked to order
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around Lower Green. For care home visits and staff lunches and team days, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Somewhere like Lower Green, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Questions from Lower Green
Which station is closest to Lower Green?
The closest is Esher station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
Frequently, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan it with you.
Cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
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.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you come to Lower Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Lower Green is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?

- Nothing for you to cook or clear

What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Lower Green, 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. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details 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.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
