Fish and chip van hire across GU24

Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Typical bookings include village fêtes and school fairs and wakes and celebrations of life, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.

Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
  4. We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

What you’ll pay

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Why book our van

  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • Bookings across Surrey, including GU24
  • A quote that spells everything out

What’s near West End

We park up for events around Holy Trinity, Gordon's School and Brentmoor Heath, among other places. The closest station to West End is Brookwood station, about 2.4 miles south. Other landmarks nearby include Chobham Museum (1.6 miles north-east) and Brookwood Hospital (1.8 miles south-east). The countryside around West End includes Brookwood Lye.

Planning a chip van in GU24

GU24 covers everything from Woking, West End and Knaphill to 12 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

West End: If you had Brentmoor Heath in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. Churches such as Holy Trinity rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by typically does. Evening events need a little planning for light: around West End, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

How we price a fish and chip van

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Your choice of menu
  • The number of meals
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Service time

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

What we need to know

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Your date and serving time
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.

For event organisers in GU24

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

What the van needs

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

A chip van compared with other options

Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day.

Comparing caterers

  • A clear list of what’s included
  • How many hours the van serves
  • How late numbers can change
  • The van’s size and access needs

Diets, allergies and planning

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
  • Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
  • Have bins and napkins near the hatch
  • Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving

The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.

Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in GU24

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

What can guests choose from?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Can the van park on grass?

Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

How does fish and chip van hire work?

The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve when you’re ready to eat.

Can you feed a lot of people?

It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
