Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips

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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
