Walton-on-Thames: your questions answered
Is Walton-on-Thames close to London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park in Sunbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
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.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- How easy the site is to reach
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
After service, we pack up.
Plan cover in case of showers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Walton-on-Thames?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
