How to get a price
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
What’s near Tolworth
In Tolworth, that can mean an event near Emmanuel, Hogsmill LNR and Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary School. You’ll also find Shrewsbury House School (1.1 miles west) and Richard Challoner School (0.7 miles east). Tolworth’s nearest station is Tolworth station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Tolworth Hospital (0.5 miles south-west) and Municipal Borough of Surbiton (0.9 miles south-west). The countryside around Tolworth includes Southwood Open Space and The Lake.
Planning a chip van in KT5
KT5 covers everything from Surbiton, Tolworth and Surbiton Park to 0 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.
Tolworth: If you had Hogsmill LNR in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Emmanuel, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. Evenings in Tolworth 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.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
How we price a fish and chip van
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so it’s crisp when it’s handed over.
Questions to ask before booking
- The deposit and payment dates
- If the price includes VAT
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- A clear list of what’s included

Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
