Christmas party fish and chips for Furzeley Corner events
Christmas party fish and chips in Furzeley Corner, cooked to order
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. Typical bookings include new Year parties and christmas socials for clubs, with cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
For a Christmas party near Furzeley Corner, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan cover for the queue
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

Furzeley Corner: your questions answered
Is Furzeley Corner 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.
How far is Furzeley Corner from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Furzeley Corner.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
