About our Christmas party fish and chips in Watchmoor
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. We’re often asked to cater warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and lights switch-on events, serving cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
Around Watchmoor, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Watchmoor; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
