Christmas party fish and chips in Hammer
Christmas party fish and chips in Hammer, cooked to order
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. For festive open days and christmas family parties, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In winter near Hammer, we need firm ground and light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Questions from Hammer
Is Hammer too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Hammer from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
Will the weather be a problem?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. December in Hammer means early darkness: sunset is about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know the serving time

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot food from the van does. 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.
What you get with us
- Bookings across Surrey, including Hammer
- Hot food handed straight over
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Agree the spot with the venue
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Christmas parties in Hammer: local tips
Hammer is about 9 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. We cover Hammer as standard, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Hammer is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Hammer to Guildford (about 14 miles away).
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Woolmer Hill School, hot fish and chips goes down well. Christmas fairs at a church such as St. Stephen's Church can book the van as a hot-food stall.
