About our Christmas party fish and chips in Eastwood
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. On the menu are curry sauce, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for festive family gatherings and festive open days.
In a small place like Eastwood, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
