Our fish and chip van hire in RH9
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will recommend what fits. We are often asked to cater big birthdays and village fêtes and school fairs, with curry sauce, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
What you’ll pay
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

A fish and chip van across RH9: what to know
RH9 covers everything from Holmethorpe, Godstone and Blindley Heath to 8 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.
Godstone: Nearby historic houses include Titsey Place (4.1 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. Churches such as Church of St Nicholas rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does. Light matters for evening service: in Godstone, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count children separately
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
RH9 questions
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
- 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
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
