How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Chertsey
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. On the menu are curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas lunches for shift teams and christmas customer days.
Around Chertsey, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What affects the price in Chertsey
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies by email
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Plan cover for the queue.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Chertsey questions
Is Chertsey close to London?
About 19 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Chertsey?
Chertsey station, in Chertsey itself.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?

Chertsey in December: what to know
Chertsey is about 6 miles north-east of Woking, in Surrey. Christmas parties in Chertsey are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We cover 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Chertsey to Guildford (about 10 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Peter can book the van as a hot-food stall. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like St Anne's Catholic Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.
Wherever your Christmas party is in KT16 and KT15, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Station Road, Charles Street and King Street, wherever the van can park. Chertsey sits on or near the A317 and A320, so getting the van to your Christmas party is simple. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Lyne (1 mile west), Row Town (2 miles south), Ottershaw (2 miles south-west), Trumps Green (3 miles west) and Stonehill (3 miles south-west). Further out, we also take the van to Guildford (10 miles south), Woking (6 miles south-west), Camberley (10 miles west), Epsom (11 miles east), Ewell (11 miles east) and Egham (3 miles north-west).
A little further out are Runnymede Hospital (1 mile south-west) and Spelthorne Museum (3.2 miles north). Green spaces nearby include St Ann's Hill and Gracious Pond.
- Local schools include Sir William Perkins's School (under half a mile west) and Chertsey High School (0.7 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Crown Hotel (within half a mile north-east)
How the day works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. December in Chertsey means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
