Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Onslow Village
Is Onslow Village close to London?
About 29 miles from central London.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Onslow Village
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Typical bookings include christmas customer days and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
At a festive party in Onslow Village, a chip van on the drive is a treat. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Confirm allergies by email
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Have a back-up for special diets
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
