Christmas party fish and chips in Blissford, cooked to order
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. For festive gatherings after Christmas and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
For a Christmas party near Blissford, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In December, it is dark in Blissford by about 4:05pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
