How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Warnham
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. Typical bookings include christmas markets and fairs and christmas fairs at schools, with cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips.
In winter near Warnham, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Warnham
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Warnham from London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

- Any minimum charge

Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. It gets dark in Warnham by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- A clear quote before booking
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A menu almost everyone likes
