Fresh fish and chips in Sandhurst Cross
How our party fish and chip van works in Sandhurst Cross
You don’t need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Typical bookings include birthday parties and children’s parties, serving gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In a small place like Sandhurst Cross, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Sandhurst Cross: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Sandhurst Cross close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Sandhurst Cross.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Sandhurst Cross?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- No surprises in your quote

Sandhurst Cross parties: what to know
