Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Knaphill
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. Typical bookings include christmas socials for clubs and festive gatherings after Christmas, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In Knaphill, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Let us know about coeliac disease
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Knaphill
What’s the nearest station to Knaphill?
The closest is Brookwood station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
How far is Knaphill from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cover Knaphill?
We do. Knaphill is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In December, it’s dark in Knaphill by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- 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.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Planning help
For event organisers in Knaphill
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
