Parties in Farley Green: homes, halls and local tips
Farley Green is about 5 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey. For parties in Farley Green, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We take the van to all 395 towns and villages in Surrey.
Thinking of using Cucknell's Wood? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Historic houses near Farley Green include Chilworth Manor (2.7 miles north-west) and Clandon Park (3.9 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. Farley Green is within about 2 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
This part of Surrey takes in GU5, and we can serve your party anywhere in it. From Ride Lane, Shophouse Lane and August Lane or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you. Nearby, we also serve parties in Peaslake (2 miles east), Holmbury St Mary (3 miles east), Pitland Street (3 miles east), Ewhurst (4 miles south-east) and Cranleigh (4 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (5 miles north-west), Woking (9 miles north-west), Camberley (14 miles north-west), Epsom (13 miles north-east), Horley (14 miles east) and Redhill (14 miles east).

How our party fish and chip van works in Farley Green
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater family parties with children and naming days and christenings.
In a small place like Farley Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
What happens on the day
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in Farley Green is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- 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.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Count children separately
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Make sure the van can park legally
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A few lights around the van look great.
