Party fish and chip van for your party in Peasmarsh
There is no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. On the menu are gravy, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater family celebrations after a christening and kids’ birthday parties.
Near Peasmarsh, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
- Distance and any road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning a party in Peasmarsh
Peasmarsh is about 3 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Peasmarsh and nearby villages. Peasmarsh is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we bring the van.
Nearby historic houses include Loseley Park (1.1 miles north-west) and Guildford Castle (1.8 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Michael, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. Peasmarsh is within about 6 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Wherever your party is in GU3, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include James Road, Oakdene Road and Unstead Wood; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Broadford (1 mile north-east), Artington (1 mile north), Shalford (1 mile north-east), East Shalford (1 mile north-east) and Chilworth (2 miles east). Further out, we also take the van to Guildford (3 miles north), Woking (7 miles north), Camberley (11 miles north-west), Farnham (9 miles west), Egham (15 miles north) and Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-east).

Peasmarsh questions
Could you trade in Shalford Mill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Is Peasmarsh too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll say what we need.
