Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why Woolbridge hosts choose us

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Book as early as possible for December
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. In December, it’s dark in Woolbridge by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
