Christmas party fish and chips in Fulmer, cooked to order
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. On the menu are curry sauce, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas markets and fairs and festive open days.
For a Christmas party near Fulmer, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your Christmas party. Sunset in Fulmer in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.

Fulmer questions
Is Fulmer close to London?
About 20 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Fulmer?
Gerrards Cross station, about 1.9 miles north of the centre.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Food early on is generally wise. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
