How we price a fish and chip van for your party

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

The number of meals
Access and parking
Service time
Any minimum charge

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

What we need to know

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

Your date and serving time
Roughly how many people, including children
Any dietary needs and allergies
A photo of the space and the way in

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

A chip van compared with other options

Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. With a van, home becomes the venue. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Working with your venue

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Planning a party in Sandy Cross

Sandy Cross is about 2 miles south-east of Aldershot, in Surrey. Around Sandy Cross, we park wherever there’s level, firm ground, close to your guests. We take the van to all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Sandy Cross to Guildford (about 7 miles away).

Within reach of Sandy Cross are historic houses such as Farnham Castle (3 miles west) and Wanborough Manor (3.1 miles east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. A green space like Aldershot Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Sandy Cross is within about 8 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

Here we cover the GU10 postcode area, and we can serve your party anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Seale Lane and Binton Lane, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

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 you get to enjoy the day.

Occasions we serve in Sandy Cross

Everyone from toddlers to grandparents enjoys it, which makes it perfect for family celebrations.

Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We regularly serve:

Birthday parties
Retirement celebrations
Garden parties and summer get-togethers
Neighbourhood get-togethers

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Sandy Cross

How far is Sandy Cross from London?

Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Is Sandy Cross too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you serve children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.

What if the weather’s bad?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Do we need to provide anything?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.

Can the van come to our street party?

Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.

Can the van park on the street?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

What happens on the day

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Sunset in Sandy Cross drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
