What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Upper Halliford: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Upper Halliford?
The closest is Upper Halliford station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is Upper Halliford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
Can the van come to Upper Halliford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Upper Halliford and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- A photo of the parking spot helps
Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Autumn and winter parties in Upper Halliford get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
