Christmas party fish and chips in Wouldham, cooked to order
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. We’re frequently asked to cater lights switch-on events and festive family gatherings, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
In winter near Wouldham, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Wouldham
Christmas dinner fatigue is real, so a chip van makes a nice change.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:

Wouldham: your questions answered
Is Wouldham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Wouldham?
The closest is Halling station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
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 service around it.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Agree the spot with the venue
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
How the day works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. The frying and serving are down to us. Plan your Christmas party in Wouldham around the dark: the light goes at about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 is fried on the spot.
What else we do in Wouldham
