Our fish and chip van hire in KT20

Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. We are frequently asked to cater staff lunches and team days and visits to care homes and day centres, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

What you will pay

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Around Tadworth

We park up for events around Merland Rise Recreational Ground, Tadworth Primary School and Church of the Good Shepherd, among other places. You will also find Chinthurst School (0.7 miles south), Inn on the Green (0.5 miles south-east) and The Beacon School (1.4 miles north-east). Tadworth’s nearest station is Tadworth station, roughly 0.5 miles south-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include The Ashley Centre (2.9 miles north-west) and Headley Court (2 miles west). The countryside around Tadworth includes Colley Hill and Cuddington Meadows.

Fish and chip van hire in KT20: local guide

KT20 covers everything from Tadworth, Great Burgh and Kingswood to 7 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within easy reach of places across KT20, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events.

Tadworth: If you had Merland Rise Recreational Ground in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Tadworth station, roughly 0.5 miles south-west of the centre. Late September evenings in Tadworth lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
  • Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
  • Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for

You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they don’t miss out.

About the food

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

What the van needs

We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:

  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue

Prices and what affects them

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • Whether a minimum applies
  • The number of meals
  • Parking and the way in
  • Cod, haddock or both

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.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The date and time of the event
  • The address or venue name
  • Where you’d like the van to go

FAQs for KT20

Can you park on the road outside?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

What happens if it rains?

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Which areas do you serve?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including KT20.

Is there a non-fish option?

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

Can you feed plenty of people?

It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.

What does the van need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

  • 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
