Fresh fish and chips in Donkey Town
How our party fish and chip van works in Donkey Town
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. Typical bookings include garden get-togethers and street parties, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Donkey Town, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Hosting a chip van party in Donkey Town
Donkey Town is about 3 miles east of Camberley, in Surrey. Bookings in Donkey Town come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Donkey Town is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Donkey Town to Guildford (about 7 miles away).
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Holy Trinity, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. For party guests on the train, Bagshot station, about 2.3 miles north-west, is the nearest station.
Anywhere in GU24, we can fry fresh for your guests. Streets in the area include Broad Street, Orchard Close and Ashley Way, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Lucas Green (1 mile south-east), West End (1 mile east), Lightwater (1 mile north-west), Bisley (1 mile south-east) and Penny Pot (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (7 miles south-east), Woking (4 miles south-east), Camberley (3 miles west), Farnham (11 miles south-west), Egham (8 miles north-east) and Walton-on-Thames (11 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find Brookwood Hospital (2.3 miles south-east) and The Museum of The National Rifle Association (1.9 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Brookwood Lye.
- Local schools include Holy Trinity CofE Primary School (0.9 miles east)
Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Donkey Town? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Plan cover in case of showers.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Donkey Town
We are gathering after a service at Holy Trinity: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Donkey Town?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Midsummer parties in Donkey Town stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Share the timings for the day
