About our Christmas party fish and chips in Berry's Green

For Christmas parties in Berry's Green, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Send round an allergy question
- Confirm allergies by email
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
