Party fish and chip van in Wisley, fried fresh

Prices and what affects them

Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
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.
The process
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Midsummer parties in Wisley stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.

FAQs for Wisley
Can the van park in Manor Farm?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What do children eat?
Sausage and chips, typically. Tell us how many children to expect.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you cover Wisley?
We do. We serve events in Wisley and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we will tell you honestly.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
