How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Brookwood
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. For family Christmas get-togethers and christmas customer days, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
For a Christmas party near Brookwood, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Brookwood
Which station is closest to Brookwood?
Brookwood station, in Brookwood itself.
Could you trade in Brookwood Lye?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

- The date and time of year
