Shamley Green: your questions answered
Could you trade in Cucknell's Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
How far is Shamley Green from London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover Shamley Green?
Yes, we do. Shamley Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Shamley Green; light the path to the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

A fish and chip van or other catering?

- Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons
- Staff Christmas parties
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings

A winter fair at a school like Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
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.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Collect allergies in advance
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send allergies to us in writing
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
About the food

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
