Christmas party fish and chips in Everton
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In December, it is dark in Everton by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

In a small place like Everton, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van

FAQs for Everton
Is Everton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
When should we book for December?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Everton.
Will the weather be a problem?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
