How our Christmas party fish and chips works in West Horsley
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. On the menu are gravy, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater club and society Christmas socials and festive open days.
At a festive party in West Horsley, the van on the drive goes down well. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Take a look at our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
West Horsley: your questions answered

Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to West Horsley?
Horsley station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Plan cover for the queue
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Collect allergies in advance
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Where the van can park in West Horsley
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
