Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Jury's Gap
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. Whether it’s family Christmas get-togethers and end-of-year club parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas and more.
In a small place like Jury's Gap, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In December, it’s dark in Jury's Gap by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We clear our spot and head off.
How to prepare
