Fresh fish and chips in Christmas Pie
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Christmas Pie? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Christmas Pie, cooked to order
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. For charity and fundraising days at work and summer team days, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
For farms and rural sites near Christmas Pie, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. For a staff lunch in Christmas Pie, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Common questions in Christmas Pie
What’s the nearest station to Christmas Pie?
Wanborough station, in Christmas Pie itself.
Is Christmas Pie too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
Can the van come to Christmas Pie?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Christmas Pie and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a thank-you that lands, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Christmas Pie. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
