A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A chip van gives a choice. 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.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
