Planning a party in Nutcombe
Nutcombe is about 8 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. From the centre of Nutcombe to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Nutcombe is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 12 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Luke, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about a mile of Nutcombe, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We serve parties across the GU26 postcode area. Streets in the area include Hazel Grove, Nutcombe Lane and High Pitfold, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. We also bring the van to parties in Hindhead (1 mile north), Grayshott (1 mile north-west), Beacon Hill (2 miles north), Whitmoor Vale (2 miles north-west) and Green Cross (2 miles north-west).

About our party fish and chip van in Nutcombe
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. Typical bookings include street parties and summer garden parties, serving gravy, curry sauce and pie and chips.
A country party near Nutcombe is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. In Nutcombe, 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

FAQs for Nutcombe
What’s the nearest station to Nutcombe?
Haslemere station, about 1.4 miles south-east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Luke: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
