How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Sunset in Heath End in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Heath End
Do you come out to small places like Heath End?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Weybourne LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
