The menu, dish by dish

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

How the day works

We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your Christmas party in Shefford Woodlands. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Shefford Woodlands, so put the van where there is good light.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Before we arrive

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Give us a contact for the day

Planning for dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Ask about allergies on the party invitation
  • Book as early as possible for December
  • Choose a lit spot for the van

Send people out in groups in the cold.

Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Prices and what affects them

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Whether a minimum applies
  • How long we serve
  • The menu and how many choices
  • Parking and the way in

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Roughly how many people, including children

Before you choose a spot

We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
