Christmas party fish and chips in Maplescombe, fried fresh
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Typical bookings include warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and PTA Christmas events, serving pie and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In winter near Maplescombe, we need firm ground and light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
