About our Christmas party fish and chips in Forest Green
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. Typical bookings include end-of-year club parties and festive open days, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Forest Green, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches

We take the van to 395 places in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Forest Green to Guildford (about 10 miles away).

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Plan your Christmas party in Forest Green around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Questions from Forest Green
Is Forest 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 the van park in Wallis Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Forest Green?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is typically wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Forest Green?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
