Party fish and chip van in Batt's Corner
Party fish and chip van in Batt's Corner, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater big birthdays and get-togethers with old friends.
A country party near Batt's Corner is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Show us where the van would go
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell us how many children are coming
Plan where the queue stands.
A few lights around the van look great.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. A summer party in Batt's Corner stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Batt's Corner questions
Which station is closest to Batt's Corner?
The closest is Bentley (Hampshire) station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at The Church Of The Good Shepherd: can you come?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you cover Batt's Corner?
We do. We serve events in Batt's Corner and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
