How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Whitehill
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. For festive open days and new Year parties, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and gravy for your guests.
Near Whitehill, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Whitehill questions
Do you come out to small places like Whitehill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Whitehill from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What if the weather’s bad?
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.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check the van can park on site
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
