Common questions in Church Town
Is Church Town too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Church Town from London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cover Church Town?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Church Town and the rest of Surrey. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How our party fish and chip van works in Church Town
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for family reunions and family celebrations after a christening.
A country party near Church Town is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why Church Town hosts choose us

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let your neighbours know
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Put the menu up by the van.
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Sunset in Church Town drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

For event organisers in Church Town
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planning the van’s spot
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 short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
