How fish and chip van hire works in KT12

A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we are often booked for weddings and evening receptions and fish and chip days at care homes.

Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside.

First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

Cost

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

What’s near Walton-on-Thames

Bookings here are frequently close to Sunbury Park, Walton Oak Primary School and St John and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Walton-On-Thames station, roughly 0.8 miles south.

Planning a chip van in KT12

Across KT12, we serve 3 towns and 4 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Walton-on-Thames, Weybridge and Hersham or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings.

Walton-on-Thames: Nearby historic houses include The Homewood (2.5 miles south) and Hampton Court Palace (3.3 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. Parks such as Sunbury Park generally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. In Walton-on-Thames, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

The menu, dish by dish

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

Is a fish and chip van right for you?

With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day.

What your quote should include

Takeaway run or book a van?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
