Party fish and chip van in Pitland Street
How the day works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. At midsummer, it’s light in Pitland Street until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Pitland Street
How far is Pitland Street from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Wotton and Abinger Commons?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What if the weather’s bad?
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.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Pitland Street?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
