Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Send round an allergy question
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Christmas party fish and chips in Holborough, cooked to order
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. For end-of-year customer events and end-of-year club parties, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
For a Christmas get-together near Holborough, a chip van on the drive is a treat on a dark December evening. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
