About our Christmas party fish and chips in Selsdon
The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. For warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and festive family gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Around Selsdon, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
On the menu in Selsdon
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check the van can park on site
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.

What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening usually works best. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Selsdon; light the path to the van.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
