A chip van near Milford

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Milford

You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will recommend what fits. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer garden parties and community events and fairs.

There may be a hall or club near Milford if the drive is small; the van can work at any of them, with permission. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

FAQs for Milford

Is Milford close to London?

Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Do you come 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 follow the site rules.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Is a chip van good for a large crowd?

It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.

How do you handle allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

Can fish and chips be the only food?

Yes. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.

What can guests choose from?

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Do we need to provide equipment?

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

How it works

On the day, 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. Evenings in Milford stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

First, the plan: what, where and what time.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Milford?

Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. The cost per head usually 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.
