How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- Numbers
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Easton
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. Whether it is new Year parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce for your guests.
In a small place like Easton, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Classic food your guests already know
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
For somewhere as remote as Easton, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Questions from Easton
Is Easton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Do you come to Easton?
We do. We serve events in Easton and across the Isle of Wight. Send us your date to check availability.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
