Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier

- Send round an allergy question
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Limpsfield
Do you come out to small places like Limpsfield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Limpsfield?
The closest is Oxted station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
