Christmas party fish and chips in Sunnymeads, fried fresh
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. On the menu are pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater new Year parties and club and society Christmas socials.
Near Sunnymeads, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Sunnymeads in December: what to know
Sunnymeads is about 3 miles north of Egham, in Surrey. For Christmas parties in Sunnymeads, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. Sunnymeads is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Sunnymeads to Guildford (about 15 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as SS Peter and Andrew's Church can book the van as a hot-food stall. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Wraysbury Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

FAQs for Sunnymeads

Sunnymeads has its own station: Sunnymeads station.
Is Sunnymeads too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As soon as you have a date.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Contact us with the date.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:

Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Confirm allergies by email
- Choose a lit spot for the van
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The menu and how many choices
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
