Christmas party fish and chips in Alfold Crossways, fried fresh
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. We are often asked to cater new Year parties and christmas fairs at schools, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a Christmas party near Alfold Crossways, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan cover for the queue
- Send round an allergy question
- Book as early as possible for December
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

- Whether travel is included
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- Allergen information for each item
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve

About the food
Curry sauce

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Alfold Crossways
Is Alfold Crossways too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Fir Tree Copse?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Do you cover Alfold Crossways?
We do. We serve events in Alfold Crossways and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
