About our Christmas party fish and chips in Aston
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. Whether it’s office Christmas parties and festive family gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy and more.
In winter near Aston, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. December in Aston means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
