Christmas party fish and chips in Wyck, fried fresh
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. For festive open days and PTA Christmas events, we can cook curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
In winter near Wyck, we need firm ground and light. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
A chip van compared with other options
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a fish and chip van is a great choice. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Christmas parties in Wyck: local tips
Wyck is about 3 miles east of Alton, in Hampshire. People in Wyck book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Wyck is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 16 miles away.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Binsted Church of England Primary School, suit a chip van. A Christmas fair at Church of St Mary is just the kind of event a chip van suits.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
