Christmas catering near Redhill
Redhill is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Redhill and the surrounding area. We serve 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 18 miles away.
The A23 and A25 make Redhill easy to reach on a dark winter evening. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, suit a chip van. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Redhill, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Redhill
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas markets and fairs and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches.
In a town like Redhill, a Christmas party might be at the office, a club or home. A chip van needs a level, lit spot nearby. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
For event organisers in Redhill
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
FAQs for Redhill
Is Redhill close to London?
About 18 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Nutfield Marshes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Do you cover Redhill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Redhill is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Sunset in Redhill in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or RH1 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
