Fish and chip van hire in Shottermill, fried fresh
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. We serve mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for company team days and community events and fairs.
A place like Shottermill frequently has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; any can work for the van, with the owner’s agreement. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Light matters for evening service: in Shottermill, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Make sure the van can get in

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Shottermill
Which station is closest to Shottermill?
Haslemere station, about 0.8 miles east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at St. Stephen's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can you feed plenty of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
