About our Christmas party fish and chips in Cheeseman's Green
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. Whether it is depot Christmas treats and festive open days, we can cook gravy, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
In winter near Cheeseman's Green, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals

- The day of the week
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- Any dietary needs and allergies
