How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Crampmoor
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. For depot Christmas treats and club and society Christmas socials, we can cook curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips for your guests.
Near Crampmoor, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In December, it’s dark in Crampmoor by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
