Our fish and chip van hire in GU27
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. On the menu are pie and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and visits to care homes and day centres.
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event in GU27.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Planning a chip van in GU27
Across GU27, we serve 3 towns and 8 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Haslemere, Shottermill and Fernhurst to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan. Parts of GU27 are within a few miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events.
Haslemere: For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as Church of St Christopher, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. Coming by train? Haslemere station is in Haslemere itself. Around midsummer it stays light in Haslemere until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Confirm allergies by email
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
For event organisers in GU27
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How we price a fish and chip van
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Who books fish and chip van hire?
It’s familiar, so nobody has to guess what they’re getting.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Staff lunches and team days
- Garden get-togethers
- Fish and chip days at care homes
- Christmas parties
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in GU27
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is it a full meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What can guests choose from?
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.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
