Christmas party fish and chips in Langley Vale
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Langley Vale
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. For warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and PTA Christmas events, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce and more.
In a small place like Langley Vale, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Langley Vale: your questions answered
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 follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Langley Vale?
The closest is Tattenham Corner station, roughly 1 mile away.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

Langley Vale in December: what to know
Langley Vale is about 2 miles east of Ashtead, in Surrey. We cover Langley Vale as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Langley Vale is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Langley Vale to Guildford (14 miles away).
For anyone getting the train home after the party, Tattenham Corner station, about 1 mile east, is the nearest station. If a church like St Stephen On The Downs is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. Langley Vale is within about 5 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
