Coming by train? The nearest station is Hampton Court station, about 0.7 miles north-east. Parks such as Cigarette Island Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Molesey
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. For birthday celebrations and gatherings after a funeral, we can cook curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a place the size of Molesey, your own drive is frequently the best spot: no venue hire, and nobody stuck cooking. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Late September evenings in Molesey lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Where the van can park in Molesey
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Molesey questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Molesey from London?
About 13 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm the menu.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Occasions we serve in Molesey
There is no kitchen needed, so it is at home in car parks, yards and fields where other catering struggles.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re frequently booked for:
- Summer garden parties
- Weddings, especially the evening
- Milestone birthday parties
- Staff lunches and team days
PTAs at schools such as The Orchard Infant School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Molesey?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so it is crisp when it is handed over. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Molesey hosts choose us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Hot food handed straight over
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Events in Molesey and across Surrey
