Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Hunters Forstal
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. Typical bookings include festive open days and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, with mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Hunters Forstal, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In December, it is dark in Hunters Forstal by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

- 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.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 solves that by cooking on site.

- 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
