For event organisers in Tandridge
Organising a club, school or community event in Tandridge? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Tandridge
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. Popular choices include gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater depot Christmas treats and christmas markets and fairs.
In a small place like Tandridge, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A quote that spells everything out

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Events we cater in Tandridge

Tandridge questions
Is Tandridge too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Tandridge close to London?
About 18 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Tandridge in December: what to know
Tandridge is about 2 miles south-west of Oxted, in Surrey. In and around Tandridge, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. We cover all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 18 miles away.
Train travellers will want to know that Godstone station, about 1.6 miles south-west, is the nearest station. A Christmas fair at Church of St Peter is just the kind of event a chip van suits.
For Christmas parties in RH8 and RH9, we just need to know where the van can park.

Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Church Town (1 mile north-west), South Godstone (1 mile south-west), Hurst Green (2 miles east), Godstone (2 miles north-west) and Oxted (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Epsom (12 miles north-west), Horley (7 miles south-west), Redhill (6 miles west), Ewell (12 miles north-west), Reigate (7 miles west) and Caterham (4 miles north-west).

- Schools near Tandridge include Oxted School (2 miles north-east)
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Sunset in Tandridge in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
