Christmas party fish and chips in Pyrford
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Pyrford
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, with service timed to each group. We are frequently asked to cater depot Christmas treats and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Around Pyrford, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Pyrford; park the van where there is good light.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
