Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Wokingham
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. Whether it is christmas lunches for shift teams and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy for your guests.
For a Christmas party in Wokingham, a car park near the door is ideal. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Common questions in Wokingham
Which station is closest to Wokingham?
Wokingham has its own station: Wokingham station.
How far is Wokingham from London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Do you cover Wokingham?

Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
