Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Make sure the van can park legally
With children, food about an hour in works well.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Party fish and chip van for your party in Chertsey
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp, not left out on a table for hours. Popular choices include sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater neighbourhood get-togethers and leaving parties.
In a place like Chertsey, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll bring everything else. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Midsummer parties in Chertsey stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

FAQs for Chertsey
Can the van park in Woburn Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
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.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
Who books party fish and chip van in Chertsey?
Fresh food beats a tired buffet.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re frequently booked for:
- Naming days and christenings
- Engagement parties
- Kids’ birthday parties
- Family reunions
Among the historic houses close to Chertsey are Botleys Mansion (1.5 miles south-west) and Byfleet Manor (4.3 miles south-east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or KT16 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
