There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

Planning a party in Wood Street Village
Wood Street Village is about 2 miles west of Guildford, in Surrey. Tell us where your party in Wood Street Village will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot. Wood Street Village is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van.
A green space like Broadstreet is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Historic houses near Wood Street Village include Wanborough Manor (1.9 miles south-west) and Loseley Park (2.6 miles south-east). Grand settings like these frequently 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 8 miles of Wood Street Village, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We take the van to parties all over the GU3 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Pound Hill, Baird Drive and The Oval, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. For parties just outside Wood Street Village, we cover Fairlands (1 mile north-east), Willey Green (1 mile north-west), Onslow Village (2 miles south-east), Normandy (2 miles west) and Flexford (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Woking (5 miles north-east), Camberley (7 miles north-west), Farnham (8 miles west), Egham (13 miles north), Walton-on-Thames (13 miles north-east) and Dorking (13 miles east).

Common questions in Wood Street Village
Which station is closest to Wood Street Village?
The closest is Wanborough station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at St Alban's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, typically. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
