Christmas party fish and chips in Broadland Row, cooked to order
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. Whether it’s work Christmas parties and PTA Christmas events, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
In winter near Broadland Row, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Keep the queue dry
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches

Common questions in Broadland Row
Is Broadland Row close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your Christmas party. In December, it is dark in Broadland Row by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
