About our fish and chip van hire in Warnham
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will suggest what suits your event. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for Fêtes, fairs and school events and company team days.
Somewhere like Warnham, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Where the van can park in Warnham
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Warnham
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Warnham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Warnham, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
