About our Christmas party fish and chips in Denstroude
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas socials for clubs and christmas lunches for shift teams.
In winter near Denstroude, we need firm ground and light. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Denstroude questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Denstroude close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
