Christmas party fish and chips for Brookside events
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Brookside
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. On the menu are curry sauce, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for office Christmas parties and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In a small place like Brookside, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Keep the queue dry
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Collect allergies in advance
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In December, it is dark in Brookside by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Common questions in Brookside
What’s the nearest station to Brookside?
Ascot station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
Is Brookside close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you do Christmas markets?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
