How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Crowell

In winter near Crowell, we need firm ground and light. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Put allergy details in writing
Send people out in groups.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy

- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
