Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Woldingham Garden Village
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. We serve mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons.
In a small place like Woldingham Garden Village, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

What else we do in Woldingham Garden Village
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the parking spot
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
