For event organisers in South Earlswood
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in South Earlswood
Is South Earlswood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
