How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Stanwell
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. For end-of-year customer events and new Year parties, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, gravy and mushy peas.
In Stanwell, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
FAQs for Stanwell
What’s the nearest station to Stanwell?
The closest is Ashford Surrey station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
How far is Stanwell from London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Send round an allergy question
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
What affects the price in Stanwell
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
