About our Christmas party fish and chips in Worth
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. On the menu are gravy, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for end-of-year customer events and work Christmas parties.
In a small place like Worth, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December in Worth means early darkness: sunset is about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Book as early as possible for December
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Can the van park in Ham Fen?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
