Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in North Waltham
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for festive gatherings after Christmas and christmas family parties.

The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In December, it is dark in North Waltham by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Planning for dietary needs

- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Check the van can park on site
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
