Party fish and chip van for your party in Green Cross
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. For birthday parties and anniversary celebrations, we can cook pie and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In a small place like Green Cross, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Common questions in Green Cross
Can you serve after a service at St John the Evangelist?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Green Cross?
The closest is Haslemere station, roughly 3.7 miles away.
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 is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
