Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Hannington
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. We are frequently asked to cater PTA Christmas events and christmas lunches for shift teams, with pie and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
For a Christmas party near Hannington, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Questions from Hannington
Is Hannington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Hannington from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Hannington?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In December, it’s dark in Hannington by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
