How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Linton
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. Whether it is end-of-year club parties and work Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of gravy, pie and chips and curry sauce.
In winter near Linton, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Linton?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.

Before we arrive
