Christmas party fish and chips for Northway events
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Northway
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater PTA Christmas events and staff Christmas parties.
At a festive party in Northway, the van on the drive goes down well. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

For event organisers in Northway
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Northway; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
