About our Christmas party fish and chips in Hindhead
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Whether it’s christmas socials for clubs and festive open days, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and gravy.
For a Christmas party near Hindhead, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Questions from Hindhead
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Hindhead from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In December, it is dark in Hindhead by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
