A chip van near Beare Green
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Beare Green
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. Popular choices include curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas customer days.
In a small place like Beare Green, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. Sunset in Beare Green in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

What else we do in Beare Green
Planning a Christmas party in Beare Green
Beare Green is about 4 miles south of Dorking, in Surrey. Anywhere in RH5, we can bring the van to you. Beare Green is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our bookings stretch from Beare Green to Guildford (about 12 miles away).
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like The Weald CofE Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Mary Magdalene draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. Beare Green is within about 3 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
For Christmas parties in RH5, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Leith Grove, Leith Road and Merebank, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Holmwood Corner (1 mile north), South Holmwood (1 mile north), Coldharbour (2 miles west), Capel (2 miles south) and Ockley (3 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Guildford (12 miles north-west), Woking (15 miles north-west), Epsom (11 miles north), Horley (7 miles east), Redhill (8 miles north-east) and Ewell (12 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Abinger Castle (4.1 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Vann Lake and Leith Hill.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send round an allergy question
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan lighting near the hatch
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Where the van can park in Beare Green
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Beare Green
Do you come out to small places like Beare Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Newdigate Brickworks?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
