How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Ewell

We serve 395 places in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Ewell to London (12 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like St Clement's Catholic Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Comparing caterers

- Exactly what’s included in the price
- When payment is due
- The service time, and the cost of running over
Takeaway run or book a van?
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’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Sunset in Ewell in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
