How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Ansteadbrook
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. For warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and festive open days, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
In a small place like Ansteadbrook, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Organising a club, school or community event in Ansteadbrook? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Ansteadbrook
Do you come out to small places like Ansteadbrook?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we will send a quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. It gets dark in Ansteadbrook by about 4:00pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Put allergy details in writing
Send people out in groups.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
