Chip van hire across KT11
Across KT11, we serve 3 towns and 5 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Cobham, Oxshott and East Horsley to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Cobham: If you had West End Common in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as St Andrew's CofE Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. Late September evenings in Cobham lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
