Bagshot parties: what to know
Bagshot is about 2 miles north-east of Camberley, in Surrey. We cover Bagshot as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We cover 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 9 miles away.
For guests coming by train, Bagshot has its own station, Bagshot station. Parks such as Bagshot Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.
We serve parties across GU19 and the streets around it. That could mean a party at a home on The Square, High Street and London Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Being close to the B3029, Bagshot is easy for us to reach with the van. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Lightwater (1 mile south-east), Windlesham (2 miles east), Donkey Town (2 miles south-east), Lucas Green (3 miles south-east) and West End (3 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (9 miles south-east), Woking (6 miles south-east), Farnham (11 miles south-west), Egham (8 miles north-east), Walton-on-Thames (12 miles east) and Frimley (4 miles south-west).
A little further out are Surrey Heath Museum (2.6 miles south-west) and Frimley Park Hospital (3.5 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Wildmoor Heath.
- Local schools include Collingwood College (1.4 miles south-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find Kings Arms (less than half a mile north)
How our party fish and chip van works in Bagshot
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. We are frequently asked to cater retirement celebrations and garden parties and summer get-togethers, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy.
In a place like Bagshot, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will do the rest. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Questions from Bagshot
Is Bagshot close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park in Bagshot Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Get in touch with your date.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices

- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips

- Curry sauce
- Gravy
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- Numbers
- How far we travel
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Give us separate numbers for children
With children, food about an hour in works well.

How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. The frying and serving are down to us. A summer party in Bagshot stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
