How our party fish and chip van works in Aaron's Hill
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. For garden get-togethers and family celebrations after a christening, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and gravy.
Parties around Aaron's Hill are often relaxed garden affairs. A chip van fits right in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
How the day works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your party. Sunset in Aaron's Hill is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Aaron's Hill
Can the van park in Phillips Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Aaron's Hill?
Godalming station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, usually. Tell us how many children to expect.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
