Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Blackheath questions
Which station is closest to Blackheath?
Chilworth station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
How far is Blackheath from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to Blackheath?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Blackheath and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Christmas catering near Blackheath
Blackheath is about 4 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey. Blackheath is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We cover 395 places in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages.
A winter fair at a school like Chilworth CofE (Aided) Infant School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. If a church like Church of St Martin is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. Blackheath 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.

Before you choose a spot

- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In December, it is dark in Blackheath by 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.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Share the timings for the day
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or GU4 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A clear quote before booking
- Something for guests to gather round
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan cover for the queue
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- The length of service
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the space and the way in
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
