Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
When should we book for December?
As soon as you have a date.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. The frying and serving are down to us. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Curbridge; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us a contact for the day

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
