Jacobs Well for staff days and team lunches
Jacobs Well is about 1 mile north of Guildford, in Surrey. Around Jacobs Well, we park wherever there is level, firm ground, close to your staff. We take the van to 395 places in Surrey.
Central London is about 26 miles from Jacobs Well, and we cover it as standard. Within reach of Jacobs Well are historic houses such as Guildford Castle (2.3 miles south) and Clandon Park (2.9 miles south-east). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape within about 6 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.
Wherever your staff event is in GU4, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a staff event at a home on Douglas Close, Barnett Row and Queenhythe Crescent, as long as there is somewhere for the van.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Lunchtime bookings in Jacobs Well are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
