Our fish and chip van hire in GU5
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a funeral and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Prices in GU5

Local landmarks in Bramley
We park up for events around St Catherine's School, Broadwater School and Shalford Mill and the streets around them. Also close by are Bramley CofE Aided Infant School and Nursery (under half a mile south), The Church of Holy Trinity (within half a mile north-west) and The Wheatsheaf pub (less than half a mile west). The nearest railway station is Shalford station, roughly 1.5 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Guildford Castle (2.9 miles north) and Surrey Police Museum (2.3 miles north-west). Open spaces near Bramley include St Catherine's Hill and St Martha's Hill and Colyer's Hanger.
Planning a chip van in GU5
GU5 covers everything from Bramley, Wonersh and Gomshall to 15 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. Parts of GU5 are within a few miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.
Bramley: Thinking of using Shalford Mill? Parks usually need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. PTAs at schools such as St Catherine's School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. By late September, sunset in Bramley is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Why a fish and chip van works
It needs no kitchen, so it works on drives, car parks and showgrounds where other catering struggles.
These are some of the bookings we take around GU5:
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Christmas parties
- Visits to care homes and day centres
- Summer garden parties
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
FAQs for GU5
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
