About our party fish and chip van in Hurtmore

Country parties near Hurtmore suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

FAQs for Hurtmore
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 will follow the site rules.
Could you trade in Middlebriars Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.

- A quote that spells everything out

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Tell us how many children are coming
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
A few lights around the van look great.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In Hurtmore, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get permission for the van from the venue
