Christmas party fish and chips for Begbroke events
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Begbroke
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. Whether it’s lights switch-on events and christmas lunches for shift teams, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near Begbroke, country lanes are dark in winter, 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 is handed over.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
For event organisers in Begbroke
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

Is Begbroke too small for a chip van?

Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
What time is best for food?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
