It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, with service timed to each group. For christmas lunches for shift teams and festive open days, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
At a festive party in Allbrook, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. 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.

Read our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
What a fish and chip van costs
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What we need to know
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space and the way in
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Send round an allergy question
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Have a back-up for special diets
Send people out in groups.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
