Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Halfway Street
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We serve pie and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for lights switch-on events and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In winter near Halfway Street, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Questions from Halfway Street
Is Halfway Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Halfway Street?
Shepherds Well station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening generally works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. By about 3:50pm in late December, it’s dark in Halfway Street; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
