Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Artington
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. For end-of-year club parties and depot Christmas treats, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.
Near Artington, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What affects the price in Artington
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. 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.
Why Artington hosts choose us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Quick service from the hatch
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send round an allergy question
- Check the van can park on site
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Plan cover for the queue.

Artington: your questions answered
Could you trade in Shalford Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Artington?
The closest is Shalford station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
When should we book for December?
Very early. Fridays in December book up first.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
