Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Rowledge parties: what to know
Rowledge is about 2 miles south-west of Farnham, in Surrey. Across the GU10 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. Rowledge is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 12 miles away.
If you had Underdown nature reserve in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. After a christening at a church like Saint James, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. Rowledge is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We take the van to parties all over GU10. Streets in the area include High Street, Chapel Road and Bell Lane, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Holt Pound (1 mile west), Boundstone (1 mile north-east), Wrecclesham (1 mile north), Shortheath (1 mile north-east) and Batt's Corner (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (12 miles east), Woking (14 miles north-east), Camberley (11 miles north), Frimley (10 miles north-east), Haslemere (8 miles south-east) and Cranleigh (15 miles east).
A little further out are Chase Community Hospital (5.6 miles south) and Museum of Farnham (2.2 miles north). Within reach you will find Beacon Hill and Farnham Heath.
- Nearby schools include Edgeborough School (1.2 miles east) and Weydon School (1.3 miles north)
- Local pubs include The Hare and Hounds pub (less than half a mile west)
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Let your neighbours know
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How the day works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. A summer party in Rowledge stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.

Questions from Rowledge
What’s the nearest station to Rowledge?
Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 2 miles west of the centre.
Is Rowledge too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Rowledge is within our area and the rest of Surrey. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

We take the van across London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
