Party fish and chip van in Surbiton Park
Surbiton Park: your questions answered
What about parking in Surbiton Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Hampton Court Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Do you cover Surbiton Park?
Yes, we do. Surbiton Park is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
About our party fish and chip van in Surbiton Park
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for anniversaries and engagement parties and kids’ birthday parties.
In Surbiton Park, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Surbiton Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day

- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
