In a small place like Shamley Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Midsummer parties in Shamley Green stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Shamley Green
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Shamley Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Plan cover in case of showers.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
On the menu in Shamley Green
- Pie and chips

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
These are the factors that matter most:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
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 do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Shamley Green parties: what to know
Shamley Green is about 5 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey. We take a fish and chip van for your party to drives, car parks, yards and venues around Shamley Green and the surrounding area. We serve all 395 towns and villages across Surrey.
If you had Cucknell's Wood in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. Historic houses near Shamley Green include Chilworth Manor (2.5 miles north) and Guildford Castle (3.9 miles north-west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Shamley Green, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Anywhere in GU5, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your party could be at a house on Sweetwater Lane, Sweetwater Close and Garden Close, wherever the van can park. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Birtley Green (1 mile west), Stroud Common (1 mile south-east), Wonersh (1 mile north-west), Grafham (1 mile south) and Bramley (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (5 miles north-west), Woking (9 miles north), Camberley (14 miles north-west), Epsom (15 miles north-east), Farnham (12 miles west) and Reigate (15 miles east).
