Weybridge: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at United Reform Church?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Weybridge from London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Fish and chip van hire in Weybridge, cooked to order
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for weddings and evening receptions and birthday celebrations.
Most bookings in a town like Weybridge are at homes, halls, clubs and workplaces. All of them work, as long as there is a level spot the van can reach. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Weybridge?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and normally costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Plan bins near the queue
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Around midsummer it stays light in Weybridge until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a 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.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
