How our party fish and chip van works in Pitch Place
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. Whether it’s garden get-togethers and children’s parties, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
Country parties near Pitch Place suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Pitch Place
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Pitch Place?
The closest is Witley station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we will tell you honestly.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you cover Pitch Place?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Pitch Place and the rest of Surrey. For a quote, use our quote form.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. At midsummer, it’s light in Pitch Place until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
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 is crisp.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
