About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

FAQs for Munstead Heath
Which station is closest to Munstead Heath?
The closest is Godalming station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. A photo of the area helps.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What affects the price in Munstead Heath
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
