About our Christmas party fish and chips in Hanworth
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for PTA Christmas events and end-of-year customer events.
Around Hanworth, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a chip van is hard to beat. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
