Christmas party fish and chips in Pitland Street, cooked to order
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. Popular choices include haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and end-of-year customer events.
Near Pitland Street, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- How far we travel

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- A picture of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Pitland Street in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
For something other than turkey, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Pitland Street in December: what to know
Pitland Street is about 5 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. From the centre of Pitland Street to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Pitland Street is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 8 miles away.
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Belmont Prep School, hot fish and chips goes down well.
