Christmas party fish and chips for Hambledon events
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the space and the way in
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.

It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. For festive gatherings after Christmas and depot Christmas treats, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, gravy and sausage and chips and more.
For a Christmas party near Hambledon, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

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.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Hambledon questions
Is Hambledon 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 go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you do Christmas markets?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
