How our party fish and chip van works in Mytchett
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. On the menu are curry sauce, gravy and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and garden get-togethers.
For a party in Mytchett, home is often the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll bring everything else. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

FAQs for Mytchett
Which station is closest to Mytchett?
The closest is Farnborough North station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
A chip van compared with other options
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Planning a party in Mytchett
Mytchett is about 2 miles south of Frimley, in Surrey. Bookings in Mytchett come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Mytchett is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 7 miles away.
Thinking of using Frimley Lodge Park? Parks typically need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. If the day starts at Church of St Andrew, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives.
This part of Surrey takes in GU16. Whether your party is on Wynfields, Coleford Close and Burgess Close or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For event organisers in Mytchett
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
