Party fish and chip van in Mayford, cooked to order
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue, which is what a party is all about. For retirement celebrations and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Mayford, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Questions from Mayford
Is Mayford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
