In Deepcut, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Other occasions in Deepcut
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. 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.
Why book with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- A clear quote before you book
- Something for guests to gather round
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Questions from Deepcut
Can the van park in Frimley Lodge Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Deepcut close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van come to Deepcut?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Deepcut. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
For event organisers in Deepcut
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In December, it’s dark in Deepcut by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
