Christmas party fish and chips in Bracknell, cooked to order
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. For staff Christmas parties and festive family gatherings, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
A spot close to the door works best in December, so nobody is out in the cold for long. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Festive lights by the van look great.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
