How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Matfield
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. For depot Christmas treats and school and PTA Christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of gravy, curry sauce and sausage and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Matfield, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
