About fish and chip van hire in GU17
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. Typical bookings include care home visits and christmas parties, with gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips.
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Planning a chip van in GU17
From Farnborough, Cove and Blackwater to 2 villages and hamlets, bookings across GU17 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Blackwater: A green space like Sandhurst Memorial Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. If guests are travelling by rail, Blackwater station is about 0.6 miles away. Late September evenings in Blackwater lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
