How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Crosswater
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. Whether it is work Christmas parties and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, gravy and curry sauce and more.
Near Crosswater, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan cover for the queue
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
