Fresh fish and chips in Ockham
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How our party fish and chip van works in Ockham
For children, there is sausage and chips, so one van feeds the whole party. Whether it’s street parties and neighbourhood events and anniversaries and engagement parties, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Ockham, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Quick service from the hatch
- A quote that spells everything out
- We cover Ockham and the whole of Surrey
How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A summer party in Ockham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Ockham parties: what to know
Ockham is about 5 miles east of Woking, in Surrey. We take a fish and chip van for your party to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Ockham. Ockham is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Ockham to Guildford (6 miles away).
If the day starts at All Saints' Church, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. Among the historic houses close to Ockham are Byfleet Manor (2.3 miles north) and Hatchlands Park (2.9 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Ockham, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We cover parties in every part of GU23. From Alms Heath, Ockham Lane and School Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. We also bring the van to parties in West Horsley (2 miles south), Ripley (2 miles west), East Horsley (2 miles south-east), Effingham (3 miles south-east) and East Clandon (3 miles south). Larger places within reach include Guildford (6 miles south-west), Woking (5 miles west), Camberley (12 miles west), Epsom (9 miles east), Horley (15 miles south-east) and Redhill (13 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Send and Ripley History Society Museum (1.5 miles west) and Woking Community Hospital (4.4 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Boldermere Lake and Papercourt Marshes.
- Pubs nearby include The Black Swan pub (0.9 miles north-east)

Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Ockham
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your party in Ockham, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Confirm allergies by email
- A picture of the parking spot helps
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
