About our Christmas party fish and chips in Waddon
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. Typical bookings include festive open days and depot Christmas treats, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
For Christmas parties in Waddon, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. 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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Waddon
What about parking in Waddon?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Duppas Hill?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Will the weather be a problem?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
