The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Plan your Christmas party in Woodchurch around the dark: sunset is about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Christmas party fish and chips in Woodchurch, fried fresh
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. For new Year parties and club and society Christmas socials, we can cook gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas.
In a small place like Woodchurch, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
