Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Grafham

What’s the nearest station to Grafham?

The closest is Chilworth station, roughly 3.5 miles away.

Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

What do you bring?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Can the van park on the street?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Do you do street parties?

Often, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.

Can the van come to Grafham?

We do. Grafham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Grafham?

Next to a DIY barbecue, the host isn’t stuck cooking all afternoon. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

How it works

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. A summer party in Grafham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. First, tell us about your party.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Before we arrive

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Get permission for the van from the venue

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • The length of service

  • Parking and the way in
  • Any minimum charge
