Christmas party fish and chips for Mayes Green events
Christmas party fish and chips in Mayes Green, cooked to order
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for staff Christmas parties and christmas lunches for shift teams.
For a Christmas party near Mayes Green, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. December in Mayes Green means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Make sure the van can get in

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.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
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 confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Plan cover for the queue
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Mayes Green?
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. 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. We set everything out in your quote.

Mayes Green: your questions answered
Is Mayes Green close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you serve children?

Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
