Christmas party fish and chips in Ashley, cooked to order
It is a crowd-pleaser, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. We are often asked to cater christmas fairs at schools and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Ashley, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm allergies by email

- December Fridays go first: book early
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
