Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Winterbrook
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. Typical bookings include school and PTA Christmas fairs and family Christmas get-togethers, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
For a Christmas party near Winterbrook, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

What else we do in Winterbrook
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Winterbrook; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Winterbrook
What’s the nearest station to Winterbrook?
Cholsey station, about 1.4 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Winterbrook?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can the van come to Winterbrook?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Winterbrook and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
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.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check the van can park on site
- Put allergy details in writing

Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
