DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

What else we do in Batt's Corner
Batt's Corner questions
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Batt's Corner?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
