Farnham station, about 1.7 miles west of the centre.
Is Runfold close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- Cod, haddock or both
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book our van in Runfold
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- We cover Runfold and the whole of Surrey
- No surprises in your quote
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Organising a club, school or community event in Runfold? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Count children separately
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- A short menu helps everyone
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they don’t miss out.
