Questions from Castle Town
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Castle Town too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Can the van come to Castle Town?
We do. Castle Town is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Castle Town
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. For christmas markets and fairs and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, we can cook curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
In winter near Castle Town, we need firm ground and light. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Castle Town in late December is about 3:55pm, 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 picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips

Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Occasions we serve in Castle Town
Rain or shine, the fryers keep going.

- Festive gatherings after Christmas
- Festive open days
