How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Cousley Wood
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. For office Christmas parties and christmas family parties, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Cousley Wood, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

- The date and time of the event

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Keep the queue dry
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Cousley Wood; park the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
