Christmas party fish and chips in Shackleford, fried fresh
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for family Christmas get-togethers and christmas customer days.
In winter near Shackleford, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A short walk from the party

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Plan cover for the queue
- Put allergy details in writing
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Shackleford questions
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Shackleford?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Shackleford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Shackleford. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Shackleford?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening generally works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
