Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Onslow Village
Which station is closest to Onslow Village?
Guildford station, about 1 mile east of the centre.
Is Onslow Village close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Onslow Village parties: what to know
Onslow Village is about 2 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. We cover Onslow Village as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We serve all 395 towns and villages across Surrey.
Thinking of using Broadstreet? Parks typically need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Guildford station, about 1 mile east. Onslow Village is within about 6 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
This part of Surrey takes in GU2 and GU3, so your party can be anywhere in it. Whether your party is on Gill Avenue, Farnham Road and Orchard Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. With the A31 close by, Onslow Village is easy for us to reach. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Littleton (1 mile south), Wood Street Village (2 miles north-west), Compton (2 miles south-west), Binscombe (2 miles south) and Fairlands (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Woking (6 miles north), Camberley (9 miles north-west), Farnham (9 miles west), Egham (14 miles north), Walton-on-Thames (13 miles north-east) and Dorking (12 miles east).

Questions to ask before booking
- A clear list of what’s included
- Whether VAT is included
- The deposit and payment dates
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us separate numbers for children
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party in Onslow Village. A summer party in Onslow Village stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
