Christmas party fish and chips in Botolph Claydon, cooked to order
It is a crowd-pleaser, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. We are often asked to cater festive gatherings after Christmas and PTA Christmas events, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Botolph Claydon, December lanes are dark, 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.

Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. An afternoon Christmas party in Botolph Claydon can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
