Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Empshott
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for christmas markets and fairs and PTA Christmas events.
In a small place like Empshott, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

What else we do in Empshott
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. It gets dark in Empshott by about 4:00pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Book as early as possible for December
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

- The date and time of year

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
