Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Waterside
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. Whether it is staff Christmas parties and christmas socials for clubs, we can cook pie and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
In winter near Waterside, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Christmas parties in Waterside: local tips
Waterside is about 1 mile south of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. Waterside is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Waterside is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Waterside to Reading (24 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Waterside Primary Academy, suit a chip van. A Christmas fair at Christ Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits. Waterside is within about 5 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Anywhere in HP5, we can bring the van to you. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Moor Road, Trapp's Lane and Hodds Wood Road, wherever the van can park. For Christmas parties just outside Waterside, we cover Chesham Bois (1 mile south), Amersham (1 mile south), Amersham on the Hill (2 miles south), Hyde Heath (2 miles west) and Woodrow (3 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Aylesbury (12 miles north-west), High Wycombe (8 miles south-west), Marlow (11 miles south-west), Beaconsfield (6 miles south), Chalfont St Peter (7 miles south) and Elmhurst (13 miles north-west).

Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Waterside questions
Is Waterside too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What if it is raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Waterside.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Sunset in Waterside in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Something for guests to gather round
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A clear quote before booking
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
- 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
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
