Christmas party fish and chips in St Nicholas at Wade, cooked to order
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. We serve curry sauce, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are often booked for festive gatherings after Christmas and club and society Christmas socials.
In a small place like St Nicholas at Wade, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day

- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
