Christmas party fish and chips for Warlingham events
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Christmas party fish and chips in Warlingham, fried fresh

At a festive party in Warlingham, the van on the drive goes down well. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Warlingham
Can the van park in Blanchman's Farm?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Warlingham?
Upper Warlingham station, about 0.9 miles west of the centre.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is normally wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
