Christmas party fish and chips for Cramhurst events
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
Christmas party fish and chips in Cramhurst, fried fresh
It suits teams on shifts, with service timed to each group. For club and society Christmas socials and christmas fairs at schools, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For a Christmas party near Cramhurst, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

- Travel, tolls and road charges
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

Which station is closest to Cramhurst?

Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Get in touch with the date.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
When should we eat?

Do you have a kids’ option?

Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Organising for someone else?

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In December, it is dark in Cramhurst by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
