A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Christmas party fish and chips in Gibraltar, cooked to order
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas fairs at schools and festive family gatherings, serving curry sauce, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Gibraltar, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In December, it is dark in Gibraltar by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
