About our Christmas party fish and chips in Wokefield
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. Popular choices include haddock and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater PTA Christmas events and club and society Christmas socials.
For a Christmas party near Wokefield, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Questions from Wokefield
Is Wokefield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Wokefield?
The closest is Mortimer station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Get in touch with the date.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Other occasions in Wokefield
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. It gets dark in Wokefield by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Check the van can park on site
- Keep the queue dry
- Put allergy details in writing
- Choose a lit spot for the van
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
