About our fish and chip van hire in Sutton Green
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around Sutton Green. For summer garden parties and weddings, especially the evening, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
In a hamlet or village like Sutton Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
After service, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
Events we cater in Sutton Green
There is no kitchen needed, so it is at home in car parks, yards and fields where plated meals are hard.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Fêtes, fairs and school events
- Care home visits
- Big birthdays
PTAs at schools such as Hoe Valley School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days.

What affects the price in Sutton Green
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
- The number of meals
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

- No surprises in your quote

Sutton Green: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at All Souls' Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Sutton Green?
Worplesdon station, about 1.1 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; we will agree the choice when we quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is it a full meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. 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.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
