Christmas party fish and chips in Moulsecoomb, cooked to order
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. For festive open days and PTA Christmas events, we can cook sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce for your guests.
In Moulsecoomb, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Questions from Moulsecoomb
Can you serve near the sea around Moulsecoomb?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park in Wild Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening generally works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Keep the queue dry
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In December, it’s dark in Moulsecoomb by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
