Christmas party fish and chips for Godshill events
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Godshill
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. On the menu are gravy, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas fairs at schools and depot Christmas treats.
In a small place like Godshill, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. It gets dark in Godshill by about 4:05pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
