About fish and chip van hire in KT9
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. We serve curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for gatherings after a funeral and care home visits.
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.

Planning a chip van in KT9
There are 3 towns and 4 villages and hamlets in KT9, so the setting can be anything from Chessington, Hook and Ditton Hill to a quiet hamlet: firm ground, access and agreed timings.
Chessington: If you had Horton Country Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Castle Hill Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. Planning an evening event in Chessington? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
How we price a fish and chip van
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
