The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. Popular choices include curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for depot Christmas treats and festive open days.

Around Ore, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

About the food

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

A chip van compared with other options

A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.

Why us?

Nothing for you to cook or clear
Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Quick service from the hatch

Questions from Ore

What’s the nearest station to Ore?

The closest is Ore station, roughly 0.8 miles away.

Can the van park in Speckled Wood?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Is grass a problem?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

When do Christmas bookings fill up?

Very early. Fridays in December book up first.

How long are you on site?

We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.

Do you come to Ore?

Yes, we do. Ore is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Which areas do you serve?

We take the van across London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

Looking after everyone

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

Keep the queue dry
December Fridays go first: book early
Choose a lit spot for the van
Send round an allergy question

Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.

Festive lights by the van look great.

Who books Christmas party fish and chips in Ore?

Planners, venues and businesses

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Prices and what affects them

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

How long we serve
Parking and the way in
Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The number of meals

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

How the day works

Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. December in Ore means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

It starts with your date, site and numbers.
We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
We clear our spot and head off.

Before we arrive

Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Name one person we can call on the day
Clear the route for the van
