Common questions in Pyrford Green
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you trade in Manor Farm?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you come to a street party?
Often, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
A fish and chip van or other catering?

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. A summer party in Pyrford Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Put the menu up by the van.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
