Christmas party fish and chips in Salfords, cooked to order
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. Whether it’s end-of-year customer events and office Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In a small place like Salfords, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Events we cater in Salfords
It is hot food on a cold day.
Whatever the occasion in Salfords, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We regularly serve:
- Family Christmas get-togethers
- Christmas lunches for shift teams
- Christmas customer days

A winter fair at a school like Salfords Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Plan cover for the queue
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

FAQs for Salfords
Could you trade in Earlswood Common?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we will send a quote.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
