Pyle Hill questions
Do you come out to small places like Pyle Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.

Step by step
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Midsummer parties in Pyle Hill stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Show us where the van would go
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Arrange an alternative if needed
Keep the queue away from the road.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
