Party fish and chip van in Lower Green, cooked to order
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and typical bookings are for street parties and neighbourhood events and naming days and christenings.
Near Lower Green, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A spot near your guests
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Lower Green?

Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your party. A summer party in Lower Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Lower Green
What’s the nearest station to Lower Green?
The closest is Esher station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can the van park in Giggs Hill Green?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
