Fish and chip van hire in Mayford, 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. We are frequently asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and weddings and evening receptions, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Mayford, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
For event organisers in Mayford
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Planning the van’s spot

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Mayford: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Mayford close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
