How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Fairbourne Heath
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we’re frequently booked for office Christmas parties and new Year parties.
In a small place like Fairbourne Heath, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.

What about guests who do not eat fish?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. 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.
