Fresh fish and chips in Coldblow
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Coldblow
It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. Whether it is boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas customer days, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In Coldblow, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What else we do in Coldblow
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Send allergies to us in writing
Afterwards, we pack up.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
