Christmas party fish and chips in Curdridge, fried fresh
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We’re frequently asked to cater family Christmas get-togethers and end-of-year customer events, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Curdridge, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In December, it is dark in Curdridge by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

How far ahead should we book?

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
- 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
