About our Christmas party fish and chips in Meresborough
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. We are often asked to cater family Christmas get-togethers and staff Christmas parties, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
In winter near Meresborough, we need firm ground and light. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Book as early as possible for December
When service is finished, we pack up.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
