Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Whitchurch

It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas lunches for shift teams and school and PTA Christmas fairs.

Around Whitchurch, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Allergies and dietary needs

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Ensure the van and queue are well lit
Send round an allergy question
Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Put allergy details in writing

Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.

Festive lights by the van look great.

What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

Planning help

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

What affects the price in Whitchurch

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

The date and time of year
The menu and how many choices
Parking and the way in
Distance and any road charges

The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Getting an accurate quote

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

Any dietary needs and allergies
Expected numbers
Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Where the van would park

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

Common questions in Whitchurch

Is Whitchurch close to London?

About 57 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Which station is closest to Whitchurch?

The closest is Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.

Is grass a problem?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Who clears up?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

What does the van need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
