Party fish and chip van for your party in Chessington
There’s no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Typical bookings include leaving parties and family reunions, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Throwing a party in Chessington? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Mention any parking restrictions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your guests
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Chessington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips

Chessington questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: 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.
What’s the nearest station to Chessington?
Chessington has its own station: Chessington North station.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Chessington?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Can the van come to Chessington?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Chessington and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Parties in Chessington: homes, halls and local tips
Chessington is about 2 miles north-west of Epsom, in Greater London. For a party in Chessington, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. Chessington is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van. You can also see our page for London, about 13 miles away.
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. If you had Horton Country Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. Chessington is within about 8 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Wherever your party is in KT9, KT19 and KT6, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Elm Road, Cox Lane and Moor Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Chessington sits on or near the A243, which makes travel to your party easy. We also bring the van to parties in Horton (1 mile south), Old Malden (2 miles north-east), Tolworth (2 miles north-east), Surbiton (2 miles north) and Worcester Park (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (13 miles north-east), City of Westminster (12 miles north-east), Marylebone (13 miles north-east), Kensington (10 miles north-east), St Pancras (14 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (15 miles north-east).

- Local schools include Chessington Community College (0.6 miles south-west) and Shrewsbury House School (1.2 miles north)
- Local facilities include Municipal Borough of Surbiton (0.8 miles north)
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Classic food your guests already know
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Hot food handed straight over
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
See how we price and our guide to van hire costs.
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Sunset in Chessington is about 8:50pm 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.
- Contact us 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.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or KT9 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
