How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Breach
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. We’re frequently asked to cater club and society Christmas socials and festive open days, serving gravy, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Breach, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
