How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Birch Hill
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. On the menu are gravy, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we are often booked for work Christmas parties and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons.
In Birch Hill, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
What if it’s raining or freezing?

Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Birch Hill, so put the van where there is good light.
