Planning a party in Old Woking
Old Woking is about 2 miles south-east of Woking, in Surrey. We cover Old Woking as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Old Woking is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover.
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Peter's Church, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Woking station, about 1.4 miles north-west. Old Woking is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Wherever your party is in GU22 and GU23, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Ford Road, Farm Road and High Street or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Westfield (1 mile west), Pyrford Village (2 miles north-east), Woking (2 miles north-west), Pyrford (2 miles north-east) and Horsell (2 miles north-west).

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. Sunset in Old Woking is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Old Woking
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.
Can you serve after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
