Christmas party fish and chips in Waldron
Christmas party fish and chips in Waldron, fried fresh
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. For end-of-year club parties and christmas lunches for shift teams, we can cook curry sauce, gravy and haddock and chips for your guests.
In winter near Waldron, we need firm ground and light. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Waldron?

Questions from Waldron
Do you come out to small places like Waldron?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
