Christmas party fish and chips in Dial Post, cooked to order
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater festive open days and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons.
Near Dial Post, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your Christmas party. Plan your Christmas party in Dial Post around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 typically the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
