- How far we travel

- Where the event is

Christmas party fish and chips in Highwood, fried fresh
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. Typical bookings include work Christmas parties and christmas socials for clubs, with mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In winter near Highwood, we need firm ground and light. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send allergies to us in writing
Plan cover for the queue.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day

- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Highwood?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
