Our fish and chip van hire in Surrey

The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. On the menu are curry sauce, gravy and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for fish and chip days at care homes and work Christmas parties.

When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule.

We start with a few details about your event.
We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Planning a chip van in Surrey

Across Surrey, we serve 20 towns and 276 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Guildford, Woking and Camberley to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Surrey, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.

Guildford: Within reach of Guildford are historic houses such as Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Loseley Park (2.6 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. PTAs at schools such as Sandfield Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Light matters for evening service: around Guildford, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.

Prices and what affects them

There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

Access and parking
The menu and how many choices
Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Whether a minimum applies

Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

What to tell us

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

Where you’d like the van to go
A photo of the space and the way in
Anything awkward about the way in
Rough numbers for adults and children

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Allergies and dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

A short menu helps everyone
Give us separate numbers for children
Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form

After service, we pack up, quietly and quickly.

Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they do not miss out.

Before you choose a spot

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

The site’s agreement to a catering van
Flat, firm ground for the van
Light near the van and the queue for evening service
