Christmas party fish and chips for Burntcommon events
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Burntcommon
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. On the menu are curry sauce, pie and chips and gravy, and we are often booked for end-of-year club parties and christmas markets and fairs.
In winter near Burntcommon, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Burntcommon in December: what to know
Burntcommon is about 3 miles south-east of Woking, in Surrey. From the centre of Burntcommon to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Burntcommon is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van.
For colleagues travelling by train, Clandon station is about 1.5 miles away. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Send CofE Primary School, suit a chip van. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Burntcommon; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
We serve Christmas parties across the GU23 postcode area. Streets in the area include Linden Way, Beech Drive and The Copse, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Send Marsh (1 mile north), Send (1 mile west), West Clandon (1 mile south), Sutton Green (2 miles west) and Burpham (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (4 miles south-west), Woking (3 miles north-west), Camberley (10 miles west), Epsom (11 miles east), Redhill (15 miles east) and Farnham (13 miles south-west).
A little further out are Guildford Castle (4.4 miles south-west) and Send and Ripley History Society Museum (1.2 miles north-east). The countryside around Burntcommon includes St Martha's Hill and Boldermere Lake.
- Nearby schools include Ripley Court School (1.3 miles north-east) and St John the Baptist Catholic Comprehensive School (2.3 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include The Jovial Sailor pub (0.5 miles north-east)
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. An afternoon Christmas party in Burntcommon can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue

FAQs for Burntcommon
How far is Burntcommon from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Book as early as possible for December
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
- Your choice of menu
- Numbers
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
