How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Bagnor
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. On the menu are mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater club and society Christmas socials and christmas fairs at schools.
For a Christmas party near Bagnor, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan cover for the queue
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Sunset in Bagnor in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Other occasions in Bagnor
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
