Christmas party fish and chips in Stodmarsh, fried fresh
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. On the menu are curry sauce, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for festive gatherings after Christmas and christmas family parties.
In a small place like Stodmarsh, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. An afternoon Christmas party in Stodmarsh can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm; light the path to the van.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
