How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Denchworth
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. Typical bookings include school and PTA Christmas fairs and end-of-year club parties, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
In winter near Denchworth, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Questions to ask before booking
- When payment is due
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- What the price includes, item by item
- VAT, if it applies
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Collect allergies in advance
- Keep the queue dry
- Choose a lit spot for the van
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
