We do. Easton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Before you choose a spot

- A spot near your guests
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
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. Sunset in Easton in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
