Our fish and chip van hire in GU21

The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch.

Chip van hire across GU21

GU21 covers everything from Woking, Goldsworth Park and St John's to 1 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.

Woking: After a service at Church of St Mary of Bethany, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. Parks such as Hoe Valley Linear Park typically need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. Planning an evening event in Woking? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.

What affects the price in GU21

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Parking and the way in
The minimum booking
How far we travel

Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Getting an accurate quote

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

Any dietary needs and allergies
How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
The venue or postcode
A picture of the parking spot

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Before you choose a spot

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Space for people to queue at the hatch
Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

Looking after everyone

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

Fewer choices mean faster service
Put allergy details in writing
Give us separate numbers for children
Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form

Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.

A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork.

What your quote should include

The van’s size and access needs
The service time, and the cost of running over
The deadline for final numbers
Whether travel is included

Is there something for children?
