Christmas party fish and chips in Arford
Christmas party fish and chips in Arford, cooked to order
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. Typical bookings include christmas markets and fairs and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
For a Christmas party near Arford, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. By about 4:00pm in late December, it’s dark in Arford; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
