Christmas party fish and chips in Westcot
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Westcot
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. Popular choices include pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for lights switch-on events and PTA Christmas events.
In winter near Westcot, we need firm ground and light. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?

Why book with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- A quote that spells everything out

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. It gets dark in Westcot by about 4:00pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
