Christmas party fish and chips in Warden, cooked to order

December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. Whether it is festive open days and christmas family parties, we can cook haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.

For a Christmas party near Warden, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What a fish and chip van costs

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

  • Your choice of menu
  • Parking and the way in
  • The length of service
  • Distance and any road charges

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

What we need to know

The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Where the event is

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

The menu, dish by dish

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.

What the van needs

We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:

  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

15 questions to ask before booking

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

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.

How it works

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. An afternoon Christmas party in Warden can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm, so put the van where there is good light.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Warden: your questions answered

How far is Warden from London?

About 44 miles from central London.

Is Warden too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Can the van park on grass?

Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

What do you bring?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

What happens if it rains?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Can you cater for allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.

What can guests choose from?

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
