How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Hampton Poyle
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. For end-of-year customer events and staff Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
Near Hampton Poyle, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

How the day works

- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
