About our Christmas party fish and chips in Woosehill
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. We serve cod and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-year club parties and festive open days.
Around Woosehill, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

- Send allergies to us in writing
- Collect allergies in advance
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Plan cover for the queue.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Woosehill in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
