How our fish and chip van hire works in Mytchett
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for weddings, especially the evening and christmas parties.
A place like Mytchett frequently has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; any can work for the van, with the owner’s agreement. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. 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.
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. By late September, sunset in Mytchett is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Mytchett: venues, parking and local tips
Mytchett is about 2 miles south of Frimley, in Surrey. For an event in Mytchett, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. We cover 395 places across Surrey. Our bookings stretch from Mytchett to Guildford (about 7 miles away).
Churches such as Church of St Andrew rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by generally does. If guests are travelling by rail, Farnborough North station, about 1.1 miles north-west, is the nearest station.
Anywhere in GU16, we can fry fresh for your guests. Local streets include Wynfields, Coleford Close and Burgess Close; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Mytchett
Could you trade in Frimley Lodge Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Count children separately
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
