Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Epsom
Can the van park in Epsom Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at St. Barnabas Church: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Epsom?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Party fish and chip van in Epsom, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. We are frequently asked to cater anniversaries and engagement parties and retirement parties, with pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Epsom frequently happen at home or in a local hall. The van works at both, as long as there is a spot outside. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Epsom?
Everyone from toddlers to grandparents enjoys it, which makes it perfect for family celebrations.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Leaving parties
- Anniversary celebrations
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
- Kids’ birthday parties
Parks such as Epsom Common usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.

Parties in Epsom: homes, halls and local tips
Epsom is about 12 miles south of Kensington, in Surrey. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Epsom and nearby villages. We cover 395 places across Surrey. You can also see our page for London, about 14 miles away.
Among the historic houses close to Epsom are Fitznells Manor (1.3 miles north-east) and Nonsuch Mansion (2.3 miles north-east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. For party guests on the train, there’s a station right in Epsom: Epsom station. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Epsom, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We serve parties across KT19, KT18 and KT17 and the streets around it. We can serve a party on streets such as High Street, Upper High Street and Church Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. With the A24 and B280 close by, Epsom is easy for us to reach. If your venue is just outside Epsom, we also cover Ewell (1 mile north-east), North Looe (1 mile east), Horton (1 mile north-west), Epsom Downs (1 mile south-east) and Langley Vale (2 miles south).

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Epsom

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
