Chip van hire across KT17
KT17 covers everything from Epsom, Ewell and Nork to 4 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Stoneleigh: PTAs at schools such as Auriol Junior School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Thinking of using Hogsmill LNR? Parks generally need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Planning an evening event in Stoneleigh? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and time of the event
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so it is crisp when it is handed over.

- What happens if plans change
- The van’s size and access needs
- Any travel, parking or access charges
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
FAQs for KT17
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
