Fresh fish and chips in Chambers' Green
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Chambers' Green
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. Typical bookings include school and PTA Christmas fairs and club and society Christmas socials, serving gravy, mushy peas and curry sauce.
In winter near Chambers' Green, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In December, it is dark in Chambers' Green by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day

Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van brings the meal to the team. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Why book with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
