Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
A few lights around the van look great.
About our party fish and chip van in Wotton
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. We are frequently asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and anniversary celebrations, with mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Country parties near Wotton suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. 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.

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a late-May party in Wotton, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare

Can the van park in Wotton and Abinger Commons?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

The closest is Gomshall station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
What do children eat?
Sausage and chips, normally. Tell us how many children to expect.

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
