Christmas party fish and chips in Blackbrook, fried fresh
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. We serve curry sauce, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for club and society Christmas socials and end-of-year customer events.
For a Christmas party near Blackbrook, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van brings the meal to the team. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why Blackbrook hosts choose us
- Bookings across Surrey, including Blackbrook
- No kitchen needed
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

If people are coming by rail, the nearest station is Holmwood station, about 2 miles south.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Sunset in Blackbrook in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.

Questions from Blackbrook
Which station is closest to Blackbrook?
Holmwood station, about 2 miles south of the centre.
Could you trade in Inholms Clay Pit?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if it is raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you do Christmas markets?

Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
