Christmas party fish and chips in Green Cross, cooked to order
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for depot Christmas treats and office Christmas parties.
In winter near Green Cross, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A short walk from the party

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Christmas catering near Green Cross

We take the van to 395 places in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 11 miles away.
