How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Wecock Farm
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. We’re often asked to cater office Christmas parties and christmas markets and fairs, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
At a festive party in Wecock Farm, a chip van on the drive is a treat on a dark December evening. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.

Questions from Wecock Farm
How far is Wecock Farm from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Wecock Farm?
The closest is Rowlands Castle station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. An afternoon Christmas party in Wecock Farm can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Clear the route for the van
