Fish and chip van hire in KT24: what to expect
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. We’re frequently asked to cater community events and fairs and birthday celebrations, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- 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.
What you will pay
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A menu almost everyone likes
- We cover KT24 and the whole of Surrey

From East Horsley, West Horsley and Little Bookham to 1 villages and hamlets, bookings across KT24 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
East Horsley: Coming by train? There’s a station right in East Horsley: Horsley station. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as The Raleigh School, can book the van as a food stall. In East Horsley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
