- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Brockham
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Brockham?
The closest is Betchworth station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you park at our house?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.

How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your party. Autumn and winter parties in Brockham get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Show us where the van would go
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Confirm allergies by email
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
