Fresh fish and chips in Belmont
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Belmont
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Typical bookings include christmas fairs at schools and new Year parties, with haddock and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
At a festive party in Belmont, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Planning a Christmas party in Belmont
Belmont is about 2 miles south of Sutton, in Surrey. Bookings in Belmont come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We take the van to all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 12 miles away.
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Avenue Primary Academy, hot fish and chips goes down well. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St John draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. Belmont is within about 8 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
For Christmas parties in SM2 and SM5, we just need to know where the van can park. Streets in the area include The Avenue, Sandy Lane and Downs Road, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Cheam (1 mile north-west), Cuddington (2 miles north-west), North Looe (2 miles west), Nork (2 miles south-west) and North Cheam (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Epsom (3 miles west), Horley (11 miles south), Redhill (7 miles south), Reigate (7 miles south), Walton-on-Thames (9 miles west) and Caterham (6 miles south-east).
A little further out are Municipal Borough of Sutton and Cheam (1.2 miles north) and Sutton Hospital (under half a mile east). Green spaces nearby include Duppas Hill and Belmont Pastures.
- Local schools include Harris Academy Sutton (0.5 miles north-east) and Glaisdale School (0.8 miles north-west)
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
