About our Christmas party fish and chips in Wherwell Wood
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Popular choices include haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and festive open days.
In a small place like Wherwell Wood, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan cover for the queue
- Check the van can park on site
