Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Crown Wood
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. Whether it is warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and festive family gatherings, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
In Crown Wood, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How the day works
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. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Crown Wood; light the path to the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
