How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Highbridge
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. Whether it’s boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas markets and fairs, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Near Highbridge, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips

Highbridge questions
How far is Highbridge from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Highbridge?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
Can the van come to Highbridge?
We do. Highbridge is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests generally gather round the hatch once service starts. An afternoon Christmas party in Highbridge can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm; light the path to the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Clear the route for the van
