Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Collect allergies in advance
Afterwards, we pack up.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the space and the way in
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.

Planning help
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What you get with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Classic food your guests already know
- No surprises in your quote
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
