A chip van near Simpson
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Simpson
The van parks outside and serves hot food. We’re frequently asked to cater festive open days and PTA Christmas events, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
In winter near Simpson, 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.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Festive lights by the van look great.
FAQs for Simpson
How far is Simpson from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Simpson too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?

Do you cover Simpson?

What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
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.

How it works

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
