How our Christmas party fish and chips works in St Mary Hoo
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. We are often asked to cater end-of-year club parties and work Christmas parties, serving curry sauce, cod and chips and gravy.
Near St Mary Hoo, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
St Mary Hoo: your questions answered
How far is St Mary Hoo from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like St Mary Hoo?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Is there something for children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

What else we do in St Mary Hoo
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. By about 3:50pm in late December, it is dark in St Mary Hoo; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
