How our party fish and chip van works in Brooklands
There is no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. We’re often asked to cater family parties with children and reunions and family get-togethers, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
For a party in Brooklands, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll do the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space and the way in
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Party venues around Brooklands
Brooklands is about 1 mile south-west of Weybridge, in Surrey. Give us the address of your party in Brooklands, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Brooklands is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Brooklands to Guildford (9 miles away).
A green space like Woburn Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Guests arriving by train should know that Weybridge station is in Brooklands itself.
Anywhere in KT13 and KT14, we can bring the van to you. Your party could be at a house on Segrave Close, Railton Close and Locke King Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. You will find Brooklands on the B374, which makes the journey straightforward. We also bring the van to parties in St George's Hill (1 mile north-east), Byfleet (1 mile south), Weybridge (1 mile north-east), New Haw (1 mile west) and Whiteley Village (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Guildford (9 miles south-west), Woking (5 miles south-west), Camberley (12 miles west), Epsom (8 miles east), Redhill (15 miles south-east) and Ewell (9 miles east).

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why book our van in Brooklands

- Fried fresh, not kept warm

- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Brooklands
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Charles Borromeo: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Brooklands?
Weybridge station, in Brooklands itself.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can the van come to Brooklands?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Brooklands is within our area and the rest of Surrey. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, it’s light in Brooklands until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
How to get a price

Other occasions in Brooklands
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
