Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Munstead Heath
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. Popular choices include gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for PTA Christmas events and staff Christmas parties.
In a small place like Munstead Heath, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Planning a Christmas party in Munstead Heath
Munstead Heath is about 5 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. People in Munstead Heath book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We take the van to all 395 towns and villages across Surrey.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St John the Baptist Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. For colleagues travelling by train, the nearest station is Godalming station, about 1.5 miles north-west. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Munstead Heath, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over GU8 and the streets around it. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Thorncombe Street (1 mile east), Hascombe (2 miles south-east), Birtley Green (2 miles east), Bramley (2 miles north-east) and Grafham (2 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (5 miles north), Woking (10 miles north), Camberley (13 miles north-west), Farnham (9 miles west), Dorking (12 miles east) and Frimley (11 miles north-west).
A little further out are Godalming Museum (1.3 miles north-west) and Milford Hospital (1.4 miles west). The countryside around Munstead Heath includes Farncombe Wood and Frith Hill.
- Nearby schools include Godalming College (1 mile west) and St Hilary's School (1.3 miles north-west)
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Keep the queue dry
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Munstead Heath: your questions answered
Is Munstead Heath close to London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Phillips Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
When should we eat?
Food early on is usually wise, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Contact us with the date.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

These are some of the bookings we take:

Step by step
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your Christmas party. Sunset in Munstead Heath in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
