Christmas party fish and chips for Upper Halliford events
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Upper Halliford
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. On the menu are haddock and chips, curry sauce and gravy, and we’re frequently booked for christmas lunches for shift teams and christmas customer days.
For a Christmas party near Upper Halliford, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van

Common questions in Upper Halliford
How far is Upper Halliford from London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London.
Could you trade in Sunbury Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Planning a Christmas party in Upper Halliford
Upper Halliford is about 1 mile south-west of Sunbury-on-Thames, in Surrey. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Upper Halliford, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot. We take the van to 395 places across Surrey. We serve events right across the region, from Upper Halliford to Guildford (about 13 miles away).
A Christmas fair at Church of St Mary the Virgin is just the kind of event a chip van suits. A winter fair at a school like The Bishop Wand Church of England School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
This part of Surrey takes in TW17, and we can serve your Christmas party anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Stirling Avenue, Allington Avenue and Pears Avenue, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Charlton (1 mile north-west), Sunbury-on-Thames (1 mile north-east), Littleton Common (1 mile north-west), Ashford Common (1 mile north) and Shepperton Green (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (13 miles south-west), Woking (9 miles south-west), Camberley (14 miles west), Epsom (8 miles south-east), Ewell (8 miles south-east) and Egham (5 miles west).

- Nearby schools include Hawkedale Primary School (under half a mile east) and Sunbury Manor School (0.7 miles north-east)

How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Upper Halliford, so put the van where there is good light.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Make sure the van can get in

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Keep the queue dry
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
- 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
