Christmas party fish and chips in Beal's Green, cooked to order
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. On the menu are gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for festive family gatherings and new Year parties.
In a small place like Beal's Green, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book our van in Beal's Green
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A clear quote before booking
- All the chip-shop extras
Take a look at how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Beal's Green; light the path to the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

What else we do in Beal's Green
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Beal's Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Beal's Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Beal's Green from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
