How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Burmarsh
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. On the menu are gravy, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for office Christmas parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs.
In winter near Burmarsh, we need firm ground and light. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the parking spot
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Burmarsh
Do you come out to small places like Burmarsh?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
