Questions from Oxted
What’s the nearest station to Oxted?
The closest is Hurst Green station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
How far is Oxted from London?
About 18 miles from central London.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you serve in the cold?
The van copes fine. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Contact us with the date.

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies by email
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Plan lighting near the hatch
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
