Party fish and chip van in Runfold, cooked to order
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who doesn’t want fish, so one van feeds the whole party. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for retirement celebrations and neighbourhood get-togethers.
In a small place like Runfold, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

FAQs for Runfold
Can the van park in Crooksbury Hill?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
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 the van park on my drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
What do children eat?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
