How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Brightwalton
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. For family Christmas get-togethers and christmas lunches for shift teams, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
In a small place like Brightwalton, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In December, it is dark in Brightwalton by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
