Fresh fish and chips in Woodgreen
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Woodgreen? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Woodgreen
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. We serve pie and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and new Year parties.
In a small place like Woodgreen, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Have a back-up for special diets
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Who books Christmas party fish and chips in Woodgreen?
By December, many people have had several Christmas dinners, so a chip van makes a nice change.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Work Christmas parties
- Festive gatherings after Christmas
- Christmas socials for clubs
- Christmas lunches for shift teams
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Breamore Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

Questions from Woodgreen
Is Woodgreen too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van brings the meal to the team. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
