How fish and chip van hire works in KT22
Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. That is why a van works for so many kinds of event in KT22. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for fish and chip days at care homes and wakes and gatherings after a funeral.
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch.

- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

Planning a chip van in KT22
KT22 covers everything from Leatherhead, Ashtead and Great Bookham to 1 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. Parts of KT22 are within a few miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.
Leatherhead: If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of Our Lady and St Peter, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. Thinking of using River Mole LNR? Parks typically need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Around midsummer it stays light in Leatherhead until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
Who books fish and chip van hire?
People book a chip van because it is food and a bit of fun at once. The van becomes a focal point, and the food is hot and plentiful.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Visits to care homes and day centres
- Work Christmas parties
- Summer garden parties
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Plan bins near the queue
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they do not miss out.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot near your guests
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Questions from KT22

Cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we will confirm what we can offer.

It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
