Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Barton Stacey
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. On the menu are mushy peas, gravy and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas lunches for shift teams and festive family gatherings.
In a small place like Barton Stacey, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The day of the week
- Service time
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Plan cover for the queue
- Have a back-up for special diets

Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Barton Stacey in late December is about 4:00pm, 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.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
