A chip van near Farleigh
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Farleigh
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. For boxing Day and New Year gatherings and school and PTA Christmas fairs, we can cook pie and chips, gravy and mushy peas and more.
In a small place like Farleigh, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Christmas catering near Farleigh
Farleigh is about 4 miles north-east of Caterham, in Surrey. From the centre of Farleigh to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Farleigh is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is London, about 12 miles away.
If a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Meridian High School, hot fish and chips goes down well.
Here we cover the CR6 postcode area. From Farleigh Court Road and Old Farleigh Road or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Chelsham (1 mile south), Fickleshole (1 mile east), Forestdale (1 mile north), New Addington (1 mile north-east) and Hamsey Green (1 mile west).

About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Keep the queue dry
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Farleigh?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Farleigh hosts choose us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No surprises in your quote
