About our party fish and chip van in Bentley
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. Whether it is big birthdays and family parties with children, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.
In a small place like Bentley, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Planning a party in Bentley
Bentley is about 4 miles west of Farnham, in Surrey. People in Bentley book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Bentley is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our bookings stretch from Bentley to Guildford (about 14 miles away).
For guests coming by train, Bentley (Hampshire) station is about 0.8 miles away. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Mary, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards.
Wherever your party is in GU10 and GU34, we can fry fresh for your guests. Whether your party is on Station Road, Broadlands Close and Eggars Field or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Isington (1 mile south-west), Blacknest (1 mile south-east), Bucks Horn Oak (2 miles south-east), Holt Pound (2 miles east) and Binsted (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (14 miles east), Camberley (12 miles north-east), Farnham (4 miles east), Frimley (11 miles north-east), Haslemere (10 miles south-east) and Ash (8 miles north-east).
A little further out are Barley Pound (1.7 miles north-east) and Chase Community Hospital (5.9 miles south). The countryside around Bentley includes Farnham Park and Holybourne Hill.
- Pubs nearby include The Star Inn (less than half a mile south)
Events we cater in Bentley
It suits all ages, so it’s ideal for family parties.
Here are some of the occasions we serve:
- Big birthdays
- Retirement celebrations
- Reunions and family get-togethers
- Family parties with children
Nearby historic houses include Farnham Castle (3.8 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Questions from Bentley
Do you come out to small places like Bentley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Bentley?
Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van park on my drive?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
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.
