Christmas party fish and chips in Woking, cooked to order
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, with service timed to each group. Whether it is festive open days and christmas socials for clubs, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, gravy and mushy peas for your guests.
For a Christmas party in Woking, a car park near the door is ideal, so nobody is out in the cold for long. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Plan your Christmas party in Woking around the dark: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
