How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Tidworth
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. We are often asked to cater office Christmas parties and end-of-year customer events, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and gravy.
Around Tidworth, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Tidworth; light the path to the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
