Christmas party fish and chips for Row Town events
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Row Town
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. Whether it’s staff Christmas parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In Row Town, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
For event organisers in Row Town
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Row Town in December: what to know

Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Row Town or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price.

For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Addlestone station, roughly 1.2 miles north-east of the centre. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Holy Family Catholic Primary School, suit a chip van.

Common questions in Row Town
Can the van park in Woburn Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is Row Town close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
