What affects the price in Willey Green
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.

For anyone getting the train home after the party, Wanborough station is about 1.1 miles away. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Kings College Guildford, suit a chip van.
This part of Surrey takes in GU3, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Aldershot Road, Homestead Drive and Bailes Lane or the roads around them, wherever the van can park.

- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Something for guests to gather round

Questions from Willey Green
Is Willey Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Willey Green close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we eat?
Food early on is usually wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Plan cover for the queue
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
