Questions from Larkfield
How far is Larkfield from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London.
Is Larkfield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Larkfield.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Larkfield
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas socials for clubs and christmas customer days, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce.
Near Larkfield, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

The process
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. By about 3:50pm in late December, it’s dark in Larkfield; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day

- Tell us when you want to eat

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Send round an allergy question
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
There’s 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. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
