Christmas party fish and chips in Oakridge, fried fresh
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we’re frequently booked for christmas lunches for shift teams and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons.
In Oakridge, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
What affects the price in Oakridge
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Choose a lit spot for the van
Park the van close to the door.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. By about 4:00pm in late December, it is dark in Oakridge; park the van where there is good light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
