How our fish and chip van hire works in Norney
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. For village fêtes and school fairs and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
Somewhere like Norney, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Norney: venues, parking and local tips
Norney is about 5 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. We take a fish and chip van to drives, car parks, yards and venues around Norney and nearby villages. We serve 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages.
Thinking of using Middlebriars Wood? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. For a fundraiser at a school like St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Norney, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on catering vans.
Here we cover the GU8 postcode area. Streets in the area include Shackleford Road and Elstead Road, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Other places close to Norney we cover include Lower Eashing (1 mile south), Peper Harow (1 mile south-west), Upper Eashing (1 mile south-east), Aaron's Hill (1 mile south-east) and Milford (2 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Guildford (5 miles north-east), Woking (9 miles north-east), Camberley (10 miles north), Farnham (6 miles west), Dorking (14 miles east) and Frimley (9 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Milford Hospital (2.3 miles south-east) and Charterhouse School Museum (1.4 miles east). Within reach you’ll find Farncombe Wood and Lower Lake.
- Local schools include Prior's Field School (1.1 miles north) and Godalming College (2.1 miles south-east)
- Local pubs include The Stag on the River pub (0.8 miles south)
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. There is 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 you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Norney: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Norney?
Godalming station, about 1.6 miles east of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Confirm allergies by email
- Count children separately
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
