Christmas party fish and chips in Congelow, fried fresh
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. We’re often asked to cater festive open days and festive family gatherings, serving gravy, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Congelow, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Congelow: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Congelow?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Congelow from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
