Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Alfold
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. Whether it is end-of-year club parties and new Year parties, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Near Alfold, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Questions from Alfold
Could you trade in Fir Tree Copse?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Alfold?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
