West Clandon questions
Is West Clandon close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Why book with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Hot food handed straight over
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Classic food your guests already know

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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’s fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. It gets dark in West Clandon by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
