How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Lower Stoke
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, with service timed to each group. For christmas socials for clubs and christmas markets and fairs, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Lower Stoke, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan cover for the queue
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. December in Lower Stoke means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
