How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Caldecott
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We are often asked to cater christmas family parties and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, with gravy, curry sauce and mushy peas.
At a festive party in Caldecott, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Questions from Caldecott
Is Caldecott close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Albert Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
