A chip van near Ewell Minnis
Christmas party fish and chips in Ewell Minnis, cooked to order
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. Typical bookings include school and PTA Christmas fairs and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In winter near Ewell Minnis, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
What affects the price in Ewell Minnis
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
For a work party, food early in the evening typically works best.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. An afternoon Christmas party in Ewell Minnis can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm; light the path to the van.
