Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Latimer
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. We’re often asked to cater staff Christmas parties and christmas family parties, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In a small place like Latimer, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Latimer is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is London, about 23 miles away.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway

- Send allergies to us in writing
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
