How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Thorley Street
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. We are often asked to cater club and society Christmas socials and family Christmas get-togethers, serving gravy, curry sauce and pie and chips.
In a small place like Thorley Street, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Thorley Street
Can you serve near the sea around Thorley Street?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Thorley Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening generally works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Plan your Christmas party in Thorley Street around the dark: sunset is about 4:05pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
