Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Woodmansterne
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We serve curry sauce, gravy and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas lunches for shift teams and school and PTA Christmas fairs.
At a festive party in Woodmansterne, a chip van on the drive is a treat on a dark December evening. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Common questions in Woodmansterne
Is Woodmansterne close to London?
About 13 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Woodmansterne?
Woodmansterne has its own station: Chipstead station.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
