Christmas party fish and chips in Farleigh Green, fried fresh
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. We are frequently asked to cater christmas family parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In winter near Farleigh Green, we need firm ground and light. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
For event organisers in Farleigh Green
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Farleigh Green: your questions answered
Could you trade in Quarry Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Farleigh Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Farleigh Green?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening usually works best. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
What if it is raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Farleigh Green.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- December Fridays go first: book early
Plan cover for the queue.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas

Step by step
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. By about 3:50pm in late December, it is dark in Farleigh Green; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
