About our Christmas party fish and chips in South Ascot
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. We are often asked to cater work Christmas parties and festive open days, serving curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips.
Around South Ascot, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In December, it is dark in South Ascot by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat in South Ascot. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book our van in South Ascot
- Quick service from the hatch
- Rain does not stop the fryers

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

FAQs for South Ascot
Can the van park in Silwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to South Ascot?
Ascot station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
