Questions from Redhill
How far is Redhill from London?
About 18 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
About our fish and chip van hire in Redhill
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. On the menu are curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for work Christmas parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
In Redhill, the van normally parks on a drive, in a club or hall car park or at a hired venue. All of them work, as long as there is a level spot the van can reach. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
