Fish and chip van hire in Mimbridge, fried fresh
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We’re frequently asked to cater fish and chip days at care homes and weddings and evening receptions, with mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Mimbridge, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Fish and chip van hire around Mimbridge
Mimbridge is about 2 miles north of Woking, in Surrey. People in Mimbridge book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Mimbridge is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Mimbridge to Guildford (6 miles away).
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Woking High School, can book the van as a food stall. If you had Milford Green and Coxhill Green in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park.
We take the van to events all over the GU24 postcode area. From Station Road, Philpot Lane and Mount Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. Mimbridge is on the A3046, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. Nearby, we also serve events in Horsell (1 mile south-east), Goldsworth Park (2 miles south), Woking (2 miles south), Stonehill (2 miles north-east) and St John's (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (6 miles south), Camberley (6 miles west), Epsom (13 miles east), Farnham (13 miles south-west), Ewell (14 miles east) and Egham (6 miles north).

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Events in Mimbridge and across Surrey
- All the chip-shop extras
- A menu almost everyone likes

How we price a fish and chip van
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will check the date and send a price.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
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.

How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Mimbridge, sunset is around 8:55pm 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.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
