Christmas party fish and chips in East Stratton, cooked to order
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater festive gatherings after Christmas and depot Christmas treats.
For a Christmas party near East Stratton, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. December in East Stratton means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- You share 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Name one person we can call on the day

What affects the price in East Stratton
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
