About our Christmas party fish and chips in Shepperton
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Whether it is office Christmas parties and christmas fairs at schools, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, gravy and haddock and chips.
Around Shepperton, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Plan your Christmas party in Shepperton around the dark: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture 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.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Where the van can park in Shepperton

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Flag any coeliac guests
- December Fridays go first: book early

Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
FAQs for Shepperton
Can the van park in Sunbury Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Shepperton?
Shepperton has its own station: Shepperton station.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening typically works best. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Get in touch with the date.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
