How fish and chip van hire works in GU19
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll recommend what fits. We serve haddock and chips, gravy and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for big birthdays and Fêtes, fairs and school events.
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day.
- 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.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Prices in GU19

Near you in Bagshot
Locally, our bookings take us close to Kings Arms, Collingwood College and The Brook Church, among other places. Also close by are Bagshot Park (0.9 miles north-west) and Bagshot Infant School (within half a mile west). Bagshot has its own railway station: Bagshot station. Nearby you will also find Surrey Heath Museum (2.6 miles south-west) and Frimley Park Hospital (3.5 miles south-west). Green spaces within easy reach include Wildmoor Heath.
Planning a chip van in GU19
From Bagshot, Lightwater and Old Dean to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across GU19 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Bagshot: If guests are travelling by rail, there’s a station right in Bagshot: Bagshot station. A green space like Bagshot Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Evenings in Bagshot stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Questions from GU19
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
