Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Westcott Barton

December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. Typical bookings include boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas markets and fairs, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.

In winter near Westcott Barton, we need firm ground and light. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Planning for dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Check the van can park on site
  • Plan lighting near the hatch
  • Think about a gazebo or covered doorway

When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.

Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Can you trade at our Christmas fair?

Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.

Is grass a problem?

Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

What if it is raining or freezing?

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
