Planning a Christmas party in Mugswell
Mugswell is about 3 miles north of Reigate, in Greater London. Bookings in Mugswell come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Mugswell is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Mugswell to London (16 miles away).
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Kingswood Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. If a church like Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. Mugswell is within about 6 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Christmas parties anywhere in CR5 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. If your venue is just outside Mugswell, we also cover Gatton (1 mile south-east), Hooley (2 miles north-east), Merstham (2 miles east), South Merstham (2 miles south-east) and Netherne on-the-Hill (3 miles north-east). Further out, we also take the van to Kensington (15 miles north), Brompton (15 miles north), Stockwell (14 miles north), Orpington (15 miles north-east), Wimbledon (10 miles north) and Kennington (14 miles north).
A little further out are Surrey Fire Museum (2.4 miles south) and The Belfry (2.9 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Reigate Heath and Colley Hill.
- Nearby schools include St Bede's School (2.1 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find Well House Inn (less than half a mile north)
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Plan cover for the queue
- Flag any coeliac guests
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- The day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: 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.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Mugswell; light the path to the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
