About fish and chip van hire in GU10

The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for visits to care homes and day centres and summer garden parties.

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Prices in GU10

For guests coming by rail, the closest station is Farnham station, about 1.1 miles north. Other landmarks nearby include Museum of Farnham (1.3 miles north-west) and Farnham Castle (1.6 miles north).

Planning a chip van in GU10

Across GU10, we serve 3 towns and 33 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Fleet, Farnham and Ash or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within easy reach of places across GU10, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.

Lower Bourne: Within reach of Lower Bourne are historic houses such as Farnham Castle (1.6 miles north). Historic venues often limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one. Thinking of using Underdown nature reserve? Parks generally need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Planning an evening event in Lower Bourne? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.

Should I sort the food myself?

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Space, access and the venue

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:

  • A spot near your guests
  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

About the food

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.

Events we cater in GU10

There’s no kitchen needed, so it works on drives, car parks and showgrounds where plated meals are hard.

A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in GU10 book the van for occasions like:

  • Care home visits
  • Work Christmas parties
  • Staff thank-you lunches
  • Weddings and evening receptions

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park.

What your quote should include

  • The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
  • Any travel, parking or access charges
  • How allergens are handled
  • The deposit and payment dates

FAQs for GU10

Is there a non-fish option?

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Who clears up?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Do you need power or water?

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

Do we need to provide equipment?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Can we choose cod or haddock?

Tell us your preference when you book and we will confirm what we can offer.
