Whitehill: your questions answered
Is Whitehill close to London?
About 43 miles from central London.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you cover Whitehill?
We do. We serve events in Whitehill and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Whitehill
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We serve curry sauce, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater visits to care homes and day centres and work Christmas parties.
Around Whitehill, bookings are often at homes, local halls and clubs. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Count children separately
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Whitehill is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Whitehill to Guildford (about 16 miles away).
PTAs at schools such as Woodlea Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as St Mark's Sacred Church or St Matthew's Church, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Whitehill. Check your venue’s rules on catering vans.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. 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. We set everything out in your quote.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
