About our Christmas party fish and chips in East Horsley
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. We are often asked to cater staff Christmas parties and PTA Christmas events, with mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce.
In East Horsley, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Collect allergies in advance
- Put allergy details in writing
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in East Horsley
Is East Horsley close to London?
About 21 miles from central London, and well within our area.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What happens on the day
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in East Horsley; park the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand

East Horsley in December: what to know
East Horsley is about 5 miles west of Leatherhead, in Surrey. From the centre of East Horsley to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We serve all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 7 miles away.
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Martin can book the van as a hot-food stall. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like The Raleigh School, hot fish and chips goes down well. East Horsley is within about 5 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Anywhere in KT24 and KT11, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Glendene Avenue, Cobham Way and High Park Avenue or the roads around them, wherever the van can park.
