Earlswood questions
Can the van park in Earlswood Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will 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.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can the van come to Earlswood?
We do. We serve events in Earlswood and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Earlswood?
Christmas dinner fatigue is real, so fish and chips is a welcome change.

- Christmas fairs at schools
- Christmas markets and fairs

- What happens if plans change
- A clear list of what’s included
- How allergens are handled
Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. December in Earlswood means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A spot near your guests
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Have a back-up for special diets
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
