Fresh fish and chips in South Godstone
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in South Godstone
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. For end-of-year customer events and christmas socials for clubs, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
In winter near South Godstone, we need firm ground and light. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in South Godstone; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

- Give us your final numbers and allergies

If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like St Stephen's CofE Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. Christmas fairs at a church such as St Stephen can book the van as a hot-food stall.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
