Christmas party fish and chips in Fisher's Pond, fried fresh
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. For christmas fairs at schools and christmas lunches for shift teams, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
In winter near Fisher's Pond, we need firm ground and light. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The process
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. By about 4:00pm in late December, it’s dark in Fisher's Pond; park the van where there’s good light.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
