Planning a party in Pyrford
Pyrford is about 3 miles east of Woking, in Surrey. Parties in Pyrford are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We take the van to 395 places in Surrey. Our bookings stretch from Pyrford to Guildford (about 6 miles away).
For party guests on the train, the nearest station is West Byfleet station, about 1 mile north-east. Thinking of using White Rose Lane? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Pyrford is within about 8 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

Whether your party is on Pyrford Woods Close, Pyrford Woods Road and Onslow Way or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there.

About our party fish and chip van in Pyrford
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. For reunions and family get-togethers and birthday parties, we can cook gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
Around Pyrford, a garden and a drive is all you need. A chip van fits right in. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Questions from Pyrford
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 work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Pyrford?
West Byfleet station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Pyrford?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
