Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Cuddington
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Whether it’s PTA Christmas events and work Christmas parties, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Cuddington, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Cuddington questions
Can the van park in Nonsuch Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Cuddington from London?
Roughly 11 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
For event organisers in Cuddington
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your Christmas party. In December, it’s dark in Cuddington 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 start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

Planning a Christmas party in Cuddington
Cuddington is about 1 mile east of Ewell, in Surrey. In and around Cuddington, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. Cuddington is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is London, about 11 miles away.
If a church like Church of St Dunstan is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. For colleagues travelling by train, Cheam station is about 0.7 miles away. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Cuddington, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
We cover Christmas parties in every part of the KT17, SM3 and SM2 postcode area and the streets around it. Whether your Christmas party is on The Avenue, London Road and Roberts Close or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Cuddington, we also cover Stoneleigh (1 mile north-west), Ewell (1 mile west), Cheam (1 mile south-east), North Cheam (1 mile north-east) and North Looe (2 miles south).

Takeaway run or book a 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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
