Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Old Windsor
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We’re often asked to cater festive open days and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, serving sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
In Old Windsor, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Check the van can park on site
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Put allergy details in writing
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.

Old Windsor: your questions answered
Could you trade in Windsor Great Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How far is Old Windsor from London?
About 21 miles from central London.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.

Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
We do. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.

- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
