Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Fairseat
It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In a small place like Fairseat, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
For event organisers in Fairseat
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your Christmas party. At about 3:50pm in late December, it gets dark in Fairseat, so put the van where there’s good light.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Plan cover for the queue

A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
