A chip van near Sutton Wick

Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Sutton Wick

The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. For christmas fairs at schools and festive gatherings after Christmas, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce and more.

In winter near Sutton Wick, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

A closer look at the menu

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Allergies and dietary needs

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Book as early as possible for December
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for

We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.

Sutton Wick questions

How far is Sutton Wick from London?

About 53 miles from central London.

Can the van park in Albert Park?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Can the van come to our work Christmas do?

Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.

Is grass a problem?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?

At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.

Is there a non-fish option?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Organising for someone else?

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Sutton Wick? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

What a fish and chip van costs

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:

  • Any minimum charge

  • Your choice of menu

Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Getting an accurate quote

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • Your date and serving time
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • The address or venue name
  • Allergies and diets you know about

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

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.

The process

Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. In December, it is dark in Sutton Wick by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

  1. First, tell us about your Christmas party.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
