About fish and chip van hire in GU16
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. We serve curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are often booked for summer garden parties and festive get-togethers.
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Fish and chip van hire in GU16: local guide
GU16 covers everything from Camberley, Frimley and York Town to 1 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Frimley: A green space like Frimley Lodge Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Coming by train? Frimley station, about 0.7 miles west, is the nearest station. In Frimley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A short walk from the party
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches

FAQs for GU16
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including GU16.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
