Christmas party fish and chips in Ewhurst
Christmas party fish and chips in Ewhurst, cooked to order
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for lights switch-on events and PTA Christmas events.
In a small place like Ewhurst, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Christmas parties in Ewhurst: local tips
Ewhurst is about 7 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. For Christmas parties in Ewhurst, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. Ewhurst is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Ewhurst to Guildford (about 9 miles away).
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School, hot fish and chips goes down well. If a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Ewhurst; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
For Christmas parties in GU6, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. Whether your Christmas party is on The Street, Mount Close and Broomers Lane or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. Ewhurst is on the B2127, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. If your venue is just outside Ewhurst, we also cover Ewhurst Green (1 mile south-east), Mayes Green (2 miles east), Cranleigh (2 miles west), Walliswood (2 miles south-east) and Pitland Street (3 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (9 miles north-west), Woking (13 miles north-west), Epsom (15 miles north-east), Horley (12 miles east), Redhill (13 miles north-east) and Reigate (12 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Abinger Castle (3.8 miles north) and Mesolithic Museum (3.8 miles north). Within reach you will find Vann Lake and Leith Hill.
- Nearby schools include Hurtwood House (1.7 miles north)
- Pubs nearby include Bulls Head pub (under half a mile north)
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
