Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Why us?

Who clears up?

How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Forty Hill?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What affects the price in Forty Hill
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- Service time

Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. December in Forty Hill means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:50pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

- Book as early as possible for December
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
