Christmas party fish and chips in Odiham, fried fresh
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. We serve gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for office Christmas parties and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons.
At a festive party in Odiham, a chip van on the drive is a treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Plan cover for the queue
- Flag any coeliac guests
