How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Grayshott
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. For new Year parties and end-of-year customer events, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips for your guests.
In Grayshott, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. 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.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Grayshott in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating

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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
