Party fish and chip van in Surbiton, fried fresh
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for christenings and naming days and summer garden parties.
Most parties in Surbiton are at home, and in London that typically means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a photo. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Surbiton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Surbiton questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Surbiton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in Stokes Field?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ensure the van can park legally
It is worth telling the neighbours.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
