About the food
Sausage and chips

The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your Christmas party. It gets dark in Fareham Common by about 4:00pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Should I sort the food myself?
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 nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
