About our Christmas party fish and chips in Middlegreen
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. Typical bookings include festive gatherings after Christmas and depot Christmas treats, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In winter near Middlegreen, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Access and parking
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

If a church like St Mary the Virgin Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as The Langley Academy Primary, suit a chip van.

The process

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Middlegreen?
