A fish and chip van in Tattenham Corner: local details
Tattenham Corner is about 2 miles south-east of Epsom, in Surrey. We take a fish and chip van to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Tattenham Corner. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Tattenham Corner to London (15 miles away).
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Epsom Downs Primary School and Children's Centre, can book the van as a food stall. Churches such as St Mark rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by generally does. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Tattenham Corner, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Ask your venue about vehicle access.
Events anywhere in KT18, KT20 and KT17 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Local streets include Old London Road, Epsom Lane North and Azor Place; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Common questions in Tattenham Corner
Is Tattenham Corner too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at St Mark?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Late September evenings in Tattenham Corner lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
