Christmas party fish and chips in Wherwell
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Wherwell
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater depot Christmas treats and lights switch-on events.
Near Wherwell, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

What happens on the day
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In December, it is dark in Wherwell by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
