Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in The Sands
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, with service timed to each group. We are frequently asked to cater festive open days and christmas markets and fairs, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy.
For a Christmas party near The Sands, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to The Sands?
Farnham station, about 2.3 miles west of the centre.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you come to The Sands?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including The Sands. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Book as early as possible for December
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Check the van can park on site
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Why choose a fish and chip van in The Sands?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A quote that spells everything out
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
