Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- December Fridays go first: book early

- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Send round an allergy question
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Holywell
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. Typical bookings include lights switch-on events and christmas lunches for shift teams, with sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
For Christmas parties in Holywell, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Holywell? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Holywell, so put the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Make sure the van can get in
- Name one person we can call on the day
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
