Christmas party fish and chips for Sheerwater events
Christmas party fish and chips in Sheerwater, fried fresh
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. Whether it is christmas customer days and work Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In winter near Sheerwater, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Plan cover for the queue
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
Sheerwater questions
Could you trade in White Rose Lane?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Sheerwater close to London?
About 22 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s pork only. A chip van gives a choice. 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No surprises in your quote
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Plan your Christmas party in Sheerwater around the dark: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
