Fresh fish and chips in Peaslake
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Peaslake
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. For family Christmas get-togethers and staff Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy and more.
In a small place like Peaslake, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Peaslake: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Peaslake?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Peaslake?
The closest is Gomshall station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Peaslake.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- The day of the week
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. December in Peaslake means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s one dish. A chip van gives a choice. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What you get with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- All the chip-shop extras
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Keep the queue dry
- Confirm allergies by email
- Collect allergies in advance
Plan cover for the queue.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
