Christmas party fish and chips in Stanwell Moor, fried fresh

In a small place like Stanwell Moor, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Stanwell Moor: your questions answered
How far is Stanwell Moor from London?
About 18 miles from central London.
Can the van park in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your Christmas party. In December, it is dark in Stanwell Moor by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Who books Christmas party fish and chips in Stanwell Moor?
