How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Egham Hythe
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas family parties and work Christmas parties, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For a Christmas get-together near Egham Hythe, a chip van on the drive is a treat. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Sunset in Egham Hythe in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

Egham station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
Can the van park in Penton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Is everything cooked fresh?

Early in the evening usually works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
