Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Book as early as possible for December
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Send round an allergy question
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Curridge
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. For club and society Christmas socials and depot Christmas treats, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.
In a small place like Curridge, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

FAQs for Curridge
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Curridge?
Newbury Racecourse station, about 3.2 miles south of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What if it is raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Curridge?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
On the menu in Curridge

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Curridge, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Plan where the queue will stand
