How our party fish and chip van works in Mickleham
For children, there is sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
Near Mickleham, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your party. At midsummer, it’s light in Mickleham until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

A chip van compared with other options
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Quick service from the hatch
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No surprises in your quote
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Let your neighbours know
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Mickleham: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Mickleham?
Box Hill & Westhumble station, about 1.2 miles south of the centre.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to Mickleham?
We do. Mickleham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
