About our Christmas party fish and chips in Crowhurst
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. Whether it’s PTA Christmas events and christmas socials for clubs, we can cook gravy, curry sauce and mushy peas and more.
For a Christmas party near Crowhurst, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your Christmas party. It gets dark in Crowhurst by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light.

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
What affects the price in Crowhurst
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
