Christmas party fish and chips in Guestling Green
Christmas party fish and chips in Guestling Green, fried fresh
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and we’re often booked for christmas customer days and festive gatherings after Christmas.
In winter near Guestling Green, we need firm ground and light. 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.

What else we do in Guestling Green
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. December in Guestling Green means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu

- Where the van would park

- A picture of the space and the way in

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
