Planning an event in Thursley?
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Planning a party in Thursley
Thursley is about 5 miles south-east of Farnham, in Surrey. For parties in Thursley, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Thursley. Thursley is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 9 miles away.
A christening at Church of St Michael and All Angels followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. Thursley is within about 3 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We cover parties in every part of GU8 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include The Street, The Lane and Dyehouse Road, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Nearby, we also serve parties in Pitch Place (1 mile west), Rushmoor (2 miles west), Tilford Common (2 miles north-west), Green Cross (2 miles south-west) and Elstead (2 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Guildford (9 miles north-east), Woking (13 miles north-east), Camberley (13 miles north), Farnham (5 miles north-west), Frimley (11 miles north) and Haslemere (4 miles south).
Well-known places in the area include Milford Hospital (4 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Upper Lake and Gibbet Hill.
- Pubs nearby include Three Horseshoes pub (under half a mile east)
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let your neighbours know
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Midsummer parties in Thursley 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.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Thursley
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 work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Thursley?
Witley station, about 3.1 miles east of the centre.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How quickly can you serve everyone?

Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
