Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Churt
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for PTA Christmas events and christmas family parties.
For a Christmas party near Churt, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Planning a Christmas party in Churt
Churt is about 5 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Across the GU10 area, we’ll come to your venue, home or workplace. We serve 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Churt to Guildford (12 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like St John's CofE Aided Infant School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. For anyone getting the train home after the party, Haslemere station, about 4.3 miles south-east, is the nearest station. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Churt, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Wherever your Christmas party is in GU10, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Crossways, Moreton Close and Barford Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. For Christmas parties just outside Churt, we cover Barford (1 mile south), Green Cross (1 mile east), Crosswater (1 mile north), Whitmoor Vale (1 mile south) and Beacon Hill (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Guildford (12 miles north-east), Woking (15 miles north-east), Camberley (14 miles north), Farnham (5 miles north), Frimley (12 miles north) and Haslemere (4 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include Chase Community Hospital (4.2 miles south-west). Within reach you will find Upper Lake and Farnham Heath.
- Pubs nearby include Crossways Inn (within half a mile south)
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, 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
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
