Christmas party fish and chips for Sanderstead events
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Numbers
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- 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. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Christmas party fish and chips in Sanderstead, fried fresh
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. Whether it’s new Year parties and christmas socials for clubs, we can cook curry sauce, sausage and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
For Christmas parties in Sanderstead, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Plan lighting near the hatch
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. It gets dark in Sanderstead by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo 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
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
