A chip van near Guilton
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Guilton
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater staff Christmas parties and festive open days.
In winter near Guilton, we need firm ground and light. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your Christmas party. In December, it’s dark in Guilton by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- Numbers
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Questions from Guilton
Is Guilton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Guilton?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Guilton?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check the van can park on site
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
