How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Farthing Green
It is a crowd-pleaser, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. We’re frequently asked to cater boxing Day and New Year gatherings and family Christmas get-togethers, with cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Farthing Green, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Book as early as possible for December
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
