A chip van near Catsfield
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Catsfield
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. We serve gravy, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and christmas fairs at schools.
In a small place like Catsfield, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary needs, with numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Catsfield?
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen needed
- A van that becomes part of the event

How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. It gets dark in Catsfield by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
