FAQs for Wentworth
Could you trade in Riverside Walk?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Christ 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What is fish and chip van hire?
The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve when you’re ready to eat.
Can the van come to Wentworth?
We do. Wentworth is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
Wentworth: venues, parking and local tips
Wentworth is about 3 miles south-west of Egham, in Surrey. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Wentworth and nearby villages. We take the van to all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Wentworth to Guildford (about 11 miles away).
Thinking of using Riverside Walk? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Among the historic houses close to Wentworth are Botleys Mansion (3.1 miles south-east). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you are booking one.
Anywhere in GU25, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event at a home on London Road, Wentworth Drive and Portnall Rise or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. For events just outside Wentworth, we cover Virginia Water (1 mile east), Egham Wick (2 miles north), Stroude (2 miles north-east), Thorpe Green (2 miles east) and Englefield Green (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (11 miles south), Woking (6 miles south), Camberley (7 miles south-west), Epsom (15 miles east), Ewell (15 miles east) and Egham (3 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include St. Peter's Hospital (3.3 miles south-east) and Chobham Museum (3.7 miles south). Open spaces near Wentworth include Gracious Pond and St Ann's Hill.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Having the party 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.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Wentworth?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why book our van in Wentworth
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Planning an evening event in Wentworth? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
