How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Wye
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. Popular choices include curry sauce, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for new Year parties and family Christmas get-togethers.
In a small place like Wye, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Occasions we serve in Wye
It suits shift teams who cannot all go out together.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Check the van can park on site
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
Festive lights by the van look great.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. December in Wye means early darkness: sunset is about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Questions from Wye
Is Wye close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Wye?
Wye station, in Wye itself.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening generally works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van gives a choice. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
