Christmas party fish and chips for North Camp events
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in North Camp
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. We are frequently asked to cater festive gatherings after Christmas and christmas lunches for shift teams, serving gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In North Camp, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. December in North Camp means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Questions from North Camp
Is North Camp close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to North Camp?
North Camp station, about 0.9 miles east of the centre.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.

Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.

A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A chip van gives a choice. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
