Christmas party fish and chips for Chegworth events
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Chegworth
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. For staff Christmas parties and festive gatherings after Christmas, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce and more.
In a small place like Chegworth, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your guests
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
Questions from Chegworth
Which station is closest to Chegworth?
Harrietsham station, about 1 mile east of the centre.
How far is Chegworth from London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. By about 3:50pm in late December, it is dark in Chegworth; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
