Christmas party fish and chips in Reigate, cooked to order
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. We serve mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas customer days and PTA Christmas events.
In Reigate, a chip van is a welcome change at Christmas. Plan lighting and a short walk to the van. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Check the van can park on site
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
