About our Christmas party fish and chips in Brogdale
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. Typical bookings include boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas markets and fairs, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In winter near Brogdale, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- The day of the week
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Sunset in Brogdale in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
