Christmas party fish and chips in Pixham, fried fresh
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. Whether it’s boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas markets and fairs, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
Near Pixham, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

- Where you’d like the van to go

What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. An afternoon Christmas party in Pixham can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

FAQs for Pixham
Do you come out to small places like Pixham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening normally works best. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
