Party fish and chip van for your party in Cobham
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. Whether it is garden parties and summer get-togethers and family celebrations after a christening, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
For a party in Cobham, home is often the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will do the rest. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your party is.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange an alternative if needed
It is worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. For a late-May party in Cobham, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For event organisers in Cobham
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Parties in Cobham: homes, halls and local tips
Cobham is about 6 miles west of Epsom, in Surrey. From the centre of Cobham to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Cobham is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our bookings stretch from Cobham to Guildford (10 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Andrew, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include The Homewood (1.2 miles north) and Byfleet Manor (2.9 miles west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Cobham, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Parties anywhere in KT11 start with a parking spot for the van. From High Street, Summerhays and Fairfield Park or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. We also bring the van to parties in Stoke D'Abernon (1 mile south-east), Oxshott (2 miles east), West End (2 miles north), Pachesham Park (3 miles east) and Esher (3 miles north-east). Further out, we also take the van to Guildford (10 miles south-west), Woking (8 miles west), Camberley (14 miles west), Epsom (6 miles east), Horley (15 miles south-east) and Redhill (12 miles south-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Elmbridge Museum (3 miles north-east) and Chessington Castle Hill (4.9 miles east). Open spaces near Cobham include Jubilee Wood and Claremont Lake.
- Schools near Cobham include Cobham Free School (0.7 miles west)
- Local pubs include The Running Mare pub (0.6 miles south)
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Common questions in Cobham
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
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. Send us the address.
Do you cover Cobham?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Cobham is within our area and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
