The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Burley
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. Whether it is club and society Christmas socials and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, gravy and mushy peas.
In winter near Burley, we need firm ground and light. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Burley
Do you come out to small places like Burley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go 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.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Sunset in Burley in late December is about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
