About the food

Planning for dietary needs

- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier

- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Choose a lit spot for the van
Plan cover for the queue.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Other occasions in Seale
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Seale?
The van keeps cooking in any weather.
Whatever the occasion in Seale, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are frequently booked for:
- Christmas customer days

What your quote should include
- Travel, tolls and road charges

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Seale
Could you trade in Aldershot Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
How far is Seale from London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to Seale?
We do. Seale is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
