About our Christmas party fish and chips in Puckpool
It is a crowd-pleaser, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. For family Christmas get-togethers and work Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In winter near Puckpool, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Puckpool
Is Puckpool close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Puckpool?
Ryde St Johns Road station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van come to Puckpool?
We do. Puckpool is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Puckpool in December: what to know
Puckpool is about 1 mile east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Puckpool is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Puckpool is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our bookings stretch from Puckpool to Southampton (17 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Oakfield Church of England Aided Primary School, suit a chip van. If people are coming by rail, the nearest station is Ryde St Johns Road station, about 1 mile west. With the sea within about 2 miles, December breezes can be cold.
We cover Christmas parties in every part of PO33 and PO34 and the streets around it. Local streets include Appley Road, Appley Lane and Seldon Avenue; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Appley (1 mile west), Spring Vale (1 mile east), Pondwell (1 mile south-east), Elmfield (1 mile south-west) and Oakfield (1 mile south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (7 miles west), Cowes (8 miles west), Sandown (5 miles south), Shanklin (7 miles south), Ventnor (10 miles south) and East Cowes (7 miles west). For a Christmas party at a remote spot, let us know early and we will plan the trip.
Other landmarks nearby include Cothey Bottom Heritage Centre (1.1 miles south) and Southsea Castle (4.1 miles north-east). Within reach you’ll find Alan Hersey Nature Reserve and Brading Down.
- Nearby schools include Ryde School with Upper Chine (1.4 miles west) and Ryde Academy (1.8 miles west)
- Local pubs include Appley Manor Hotel (less than half a mile south-west)
How the day works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Puckpool; light the path to the van.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
For somewhere as remote as Puckpool, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Puckpool
- Gravy
