Christmas party fish and chips in Frimley
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Frimley
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. We are frequently asked to cater festive family gatherings and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, with curry sauce, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In Frimley, a chip van is a welcome change at Christmas. Keep the van close and well lit. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Frimley; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Common questions in Frimley
Which station is closest to Frimley?
The closest is Frimley station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Is Frimley close to London?
About 30 miles from central London.
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 will send a quote.
Do you come to Frimley?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Frimley and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Very early. Fridays in December book up first.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Planning a Christmas party in Frimley
Frimley is about 1 mile south of Camberley, in Surrey.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan lighting near the hatch
For a work party, food early in the evening typically works best.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
