Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

- Where the event is
- Where the van would park

York Town parties: what to know
York Town is about 1 mile west of Camberley, in Surrey.

York Town is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 10 miles away.
A christening at Church of St Michael York Town followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. If you had Tekels Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park.

Common questions in York Town
How far is York Town from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to York Town?
The closest is Camberley station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
