Christmas party fish and chips in Fleet, cooked to order
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Typical bookings include christmas family parties and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, serving gravy, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Christmas parties in Fleet are frequently at workplaces and clubs. A chip van needs a level, lit spot nearby. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
