A chip van near Hethe
Christmas party fish and chips in Hethe, fried fresh
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for family Christmas get-togethers and new Year parties.
For a Christmas party near Hethe, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Christmas parties in Hethe: local tips

A Christmas fair at Church of St Edmund and George is just the kind of event a chip van suits. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Fringford Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Keep the queue dry
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- December Fridays go first: book early
For a work party, food early in the evening typically works best.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Sunset in Hethe in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
