Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Crowhurst Lane End
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. Typical bookings include christmas socials for clubs and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In a small place like Crowhurst Lane End, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Keep the queue dry
When service is finished, we pack up.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
