Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Longcot?
It suits shift teams who can’t all go out together.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Lights switch-on events
- Christmas lunches for shift teams
- End-of-year club parties
- Festive family gatherings
If a church like Church of St Mary is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Longcot; light the path to the van.

- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
