Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December in Hempton means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.

How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
