About our Christmas party fish and chips in Balls Green
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. Popular choices include curry sauce, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for festive open days and christmas lunches for shift teams.
For a Christmas party near Balls Green, 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.

How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In December, it’s dark in Balls Green by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
