About our Christmas party fish and chips in Wroxton
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. For new Year parties and festive family gatherings, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Near Wroxton, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Check the van can park on site
- Put allergy details in writing
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
What happens on the day
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In December, it’s dark in Wroxton by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear 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.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Occasions we serve in Wroxton
It’s hot food on a cold day.
Whatever the occasion in Wroxton, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We regularly serve:
- Festive open days
- Office Christmas parties
- Christmas lunches for shift teams
- Christmas fairs at schools
A winter fair at a school like Wroxton Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
