Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Westcott
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. Typical bookings include christmas customer days and festive gatherings after Christmas, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
For a Christmas party near Westcott, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A chip van gives a choice. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What you get with us
- We cover Westcott and the whole of Surrey
- A clear quote before booking
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Classic food your guests already know

About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Westcott questions
Do you come out to small places like Westcott?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Milton Heath and The Nower?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do Christmas markets?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
