Christmas party fish and chips for Bedgebury Cross events
Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your Christmas party. In December, it’s dark in Bedgebury Cross 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.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Bedgebury Cross
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. Whether it is new Year parties and christmas markets and fairs, we will put together a menu of gravy, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Bedgebury Cross, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Do we need to provide equipment?

Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
