Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Blue Town
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. We’re often asked to cater christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and work Christmas parties, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
Around Blue Town, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What happens on the day
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Sunset in Blue Town in late December is about 3:50pm, 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.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or ME12 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Send round an allergy question
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
