Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Willington
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. We are frequently asked to cater work Christmas parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs, serving curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips.
Around Willington, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Willington

Questions from Willington
Is Willington close to London?
About 33 miles from central London.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
