The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for depot Christmas treats and christmas socials for clubs.
In winter near Chalkshire, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the space and the way in
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we will check the date and send a price.
