Christmas party fish and chips in Broadford, cooked to order
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater festive family gatherings and end-of-year club parties.
For a Christmas party near Broadford, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Train travellers will want to know that Shalford station serves Broadford directly. A winter fair at a school like Shalford Infant School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Broadford; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
FAQs for Broadford
Can the van park in Shalford Mill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come 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.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening generally works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
