Fish and chip van hire for your event in Hurtmore
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Whether it’s birthday celebrations and weddings, especially the evening, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In a small place like Hurtmore, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Occasions we serve in Hurtmore
On a grey day, hot fish and chips wins, and the cooking carries on inside the van whatever the weather.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Birthday celebrations
- Care home visits
- Staff thank-you lunches
- Gatherings after a funeral
After a service at Church of St Nicholas, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Why book with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Events in Hurtmore and across Surrey

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Count children separately
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put bins and napkins by the van
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Parking and the way in

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
