The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the parking spot
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.

Holloway: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Holloway?
Furze Platt station, about 2.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Holloway close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you do Christmas markets?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.

- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A clear quote before booking
- Something for guests to gather round

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
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.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Check the van can park on site
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
- 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
