Christmas party fish and chips in Grubb Street
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Grubb Street
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. Typical bookings include work Christmas parties and lights switch-on events, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
For a Christmas party near Grubb Street, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Events we cater in Grubb Street

An afternoon Christmas party in Grubb Street can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm, so put the van where there is good light.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
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.
