Christmas party fish and chips for Grayswood events
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Grayswood
The van parks outside and serves hot food. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for christmas fairs at schools and festive open days.
Near Grayswood, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book our van in Grayswood
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. December in Grayswood means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

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 work to whatever the site needs.

Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
