Questions from Tilford
What’s the nearest station to Tilford?
The closest is Farnham station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Tilford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we will advise.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Where the van can park in Tilford
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Step by step
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Autumn and winter parties in Tilford get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Share the timings for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
