DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Broad Street
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, with service timed to each group. We are often asked to cater lights switch-on events and end-of-year customer events, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
Near Broad Street, 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.

A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. December in Broad Street means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
