Fresh fish and chips in Fernhurst
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Fernhurst
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, with service timed to each group. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater depot Christmas treats and staff Christmas parties.
Near Fernhurst, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. December in Fernhurst means early darkness: sunset is about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Fernhurst is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 15 miles away.
If a church like The Parish Church of St Margaret is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.

Fernhurst: your questions answered
Is Fernhurst 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.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
