How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Eastbury
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. For club and society Christmas socials and end-of-year customer events, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce and more.
In winter near Eastbury, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Keep the queue dry
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
