A chip van near Fetcham
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Fetcham in December: what to know
Fetcham is about 5 miles south-west of Epsom, in Surrey. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Fetcham or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to all 395 towns and villages across Surrey. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 10 miles away.
A Christmas fair at Church of St. Mary is just the kind of event a chip van suits. A winter fair at a school like Oakfield Junior School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Fetcham, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Christmas parties anywhere in KT22 and KT23 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include The Street, Bell Lane and Gatesden Road, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot.
