Durfold Wood questions
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Durfold Wood?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Durfold Wood?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Durfold Wood?
The van keeps cooking in any weather.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in Durfold Wood book the van for events such as:
- Family Christmas get-togethers
- Christmas fairs at schools
- Christmas customer days
- Depot Christmas treats
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Holy Trinity Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. December in Durfold Wood means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
