Near Hurst Green, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Hurst Green: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Agatha's Hall: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Hurst Green from London?
About 18 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you cover Hurst Green?
We do. We serve events in Hurst Green and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.

What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. With a van, home becomes the venue. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Let your neighbours know
- Count children separately
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Hurst Green is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Have a level parking spot ready
