How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Mapledurham
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. On the menu are curry sauce, sausage and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for family Christmas get-togethers and staff Christmas parties.
In winter near Mapledurham, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
