A fish and chip van or other catering?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Plan your Christmas party in Denton around the dark: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

For a work party, food early in the evening typically works best.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Denton
Is Denton close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Denton?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 4.9 miles away.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Denton?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening normally works best. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
