How fish and chip van hire works in GU6
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Popular choices include sausage and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for evening wedding food and village fêtes and school fairs.
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

What’s near Cranleigh
In Cranleigh, that can mean an event near Glebelands School, St Cuthbert Mayne Catholic Primary School and Church of St Nicholas and the streets around them.
Chip van hire across GU6
From Cranleigh, Ewhurst and Alfold Crossways to 6 villages and hamlets, bookings across GU6 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Cranleigh: Thinking of using Sayer's Croft LNR? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like St Cuthbert Mayne Catholic Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. By late September, sunset in Cranleigh is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
Why a fish and chip van works
There is no kitchen needed, so it is at home in car parks, yards and fields where other catering struggles.
In GU6 and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Staff thank-you lunches
- Festive get-togethers
- Evening wedding food
- Visits to care homes and day centres
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- Numbers
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A photo of the parking spot
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- A short menu helps everyone
After service, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
About the food

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
