What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, it is light in Standford until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Standford: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Standford from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you do street parties?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- We cover Standford and the whole of Hampshire
- Something for guests to gather round
- A clear quote before booking
