About our Christmas party fish and chips in Compton
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Typical bookings include christmas lunches for shift teams and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, with curry sauce, gravy and sausage and chips.
In winter near Compton, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. An afternoon Christmas party in Compton can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send round an allergy question
- Check the van can park on site
- Have a back-up for special diets
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Festive lights by the van look great.

What affects the price in Compton
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space and the way in
