Christmas party fish and chips in Cogges, fried fresh
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. For staff Christmas parties and new Year parties, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
In Cogges, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What affects the price in Cogges
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the parking spot
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. It gets dark in Cogges by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Book as early as possible for December
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
Afterwards, we pack up.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
Why us?
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- All the chip-shop extras
- A van that becomes part of the event
- A menu almost everyone likes
