How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Mimbridge
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. We serve gravy, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-year customer events and festive gatherings after Christmas.
In winter near Mimbridge, we need firm ground and light. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book our van in Mimbridge

FAQs for Mimbridge
Do you come out to small places like Mimbridge?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.

Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.

Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
