Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Wych Cross
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for christmas customer days and end-of-year club parties.
In a small place like Wych Cross, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What else we do in Wych Cross
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
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.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
