Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Fetcham
Can the van park in River Mole LNR?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Fetcham close to London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Planning a party in Fetcham
Fetcham is about 5 miles south-west of Epsom, in Surrey. We cover Fetcham as standard, so your party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We serve 395 places in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Fetcham to Guildford (about 10 miles away).
If guests are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Leatherhead station, roughly 1.2 miles north-east of the centre. Thinking of using River Mole LNR? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Fetcham is within about 4 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We take the van to parties all over the KT22 and KT23 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include The Street, Bell Lane and Gatesden Road; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. You will find Fetcham on the B2122, which makes the journey straightforward. If your venue is just outside Fetcham, we also cover Great Bookham (1 mile south-west), Leatherhead (1 mile east), Mickleham (2 miles south-east), Little Bookham (2 miles south-west) and Westhumble (3 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (10 miles west), Woking (10 miles west), Epsom (5 miles north-east), Horley (11 miles south-east), Redhill (9 miles south-east) and Ewell (6 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Headley Court (3.4 miles east) and Betchworth Castle (4.5 miles south-east). The countryside around Fetcham includes Claremont Lake and Box Hill.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Show us where the van would go
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Give us separate numbers for children
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Fetcham? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

The process
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. A summer party in Fetcham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Ensure the van can get in

Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
