Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Mount Pleasant
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. For warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and staff Christmas parties, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Mount Pleasant, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Mount Pleasant questions
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Mount Pleasant too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Will the weather be a problem?
The van copes fine. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. Fridays in December book up first.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
