Christmas party fish and chips in Northwood, cooked to order
It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater work Christmas parties and PTA Christmas events.
In Northwood, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Northwood
What’s the nearest station to Northwood?
Ramsgate station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Northwood.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Can you serve in the cold?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about

- Your date and serving time
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
