Our fish and chip van hire in KT16
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. Typical bookings include gatherings after a funeral and birthday celebrations, with mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
Cost
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book our van

Fish and chip van hire in KT16: local guide
From Chertsey, Ottershaw and Penton Hook to 4 villages and hamlets, bookings across KT16 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Chertsey: Coming by train? There’s a station right in Chertsey: Chertsey station. If you had Woburn Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. Evenings in Chertsey stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Occasions we serve in KT16
It needs no kitchen, so it is at home in car parks, yards and fields where plated meals are hard.
These are some of the bookings we take around KT16:
- Big birthdays
- Fish and chip days at care homes
- Work Christmas parties
- Staff thank-you lunches
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Tell people when the van opens.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
KT16: your questions answered
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
