Christmas party fish and chips in Watermead
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Watermead
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. For new Year parties and lights switch-on events, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Around Watermead, Christmas parties are often 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.

About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
