How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Brook
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, with service timed to each group. We are often asked to cater christmas fairs at schools and office Christmas parties, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Brook, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Common questions in Brook
Is Brook too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Brook?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
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.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No surprises in your quote
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Classic food your guests already know
See our prices page or the cost guide.
