How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Church End
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and gravy, and we are often booked for christmas family parties and office Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near Church End, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.

How the day works

- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
