Christmas party fish and chips in Northney
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Northney
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for PTA Christmas events and festive family gatherings.
In a small place like Northney, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Northney: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Northney?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How far is Northney from London?
About 60 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening typically works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
What’s on the menu?

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van brings the meal to the team. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event

- Dietary needs, with numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your Christmas party. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Northney, so put the van where there’s good light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Occasions we serve in Northney
It is relaxed and fun, and people talk about it.
Here are some of the occasions we serve around Northney:
- Family Christmas get-togethers
