Christmas party fish and chips in West Bedfont
Christmas party fish and chips in West Bedfont, fried fresh
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. On the menu are mushy peas, gravy and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for festive open days and school and PTA Christmas fairs.
Near West Bedfont, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
