How our party fish and chip van works in Milford
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for family reunions and anniversary celebrations.
For a party in Milford, home is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will bring everything else. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Party venues around Milford
Milford is about 6 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Milford is well within our area, so your party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Milford is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 6 miles away.
Thinking of using Rodborough Common? Parks usually need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Historic houses near Milford include Loseley Park (3.5 miles north-east) and Wanborough Manor (4.2 miles north). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Milford, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
For parties in GU8, we just need to know where the van can park. Local streets include Church Road, Upper Manor Road and Elmside; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Mousehill (1 mile south-west), Cramhurst (1 mile south), Upper Eashing (1 mile north), Ockford Ridge (1 mile south-east) and Lower Eashing (1 mile north). Further out, we also take the van to Guildford (6 miles north-east), Woking (10 miles north), Camberley (12 miles north), Farnham (7 miles north-west), Dorking (14 miles east) and Frimley (10 miles north).
A little further out are Godalming Museum (1.7 miles north-east) and Milford Hospital (1 mile east). The countryside around Milford includes Lower Lake and Frith Hill.
- Local schools include Rodborough (0.6 miles south) and St Hilary's School (1.5 miles north-east)

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Common questions in Milford
We’re gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
