Christmas party fish and chips in Clifton
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Clifton
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. Typical bookings include work Christmas parties and family Christmas get-togethers, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Clifton, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Clifton
How far is Clifton from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Clifton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is one dish. A chip van gives a choice. 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. We set everything out in your quote.
