Events we cater in Henwood
Few things beat hot fish and chips in December, served fast.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Festive open days
- Office Christmas parties
- Christmas socials for clubs
- Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons
A winter fair at a school like Wootton St Peter's Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. 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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a chip van is hard to beat. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
