Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Nutcombe
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. Typical bookings include christmas markets and fairs and new Year parties, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
In winter near Nutcombe, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. December in Nutcombe means early darkness: sunset is about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Nutcombe in December: what to know

For anyone getting the train home after the party, the nearest station is Haslemere station, about 1.4 miles south-east.

We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as Hazel Grove, Nutcombe Lane and High Pitfold, as long as there is somewhere for the van.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
