It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. Whether it’s christmas markets and fairs and christmas fairs at schools, we can cook pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Mockbeggar, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Keep the queue dry
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Plan cover for the queue.
Festive lights by the van look great.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. By about 4:05pm in late December, it is dark in Mockbeggar; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Why choose a fish and chip van in Mockbeggar?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van gives a choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Mockbeggar
It is hot food on a cold day, served fast.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are frequently booked for:
- Christmas markets and fairs

- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
The cost per head usually 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.
