Christmas party fish and chips in Wintershill, cooked to order
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, with service timed to each group. For club and society Christmas socials and depot Christmas treats, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and gravy and more.
In winter near Wintershill, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
