About our Christmas party fish and chips in Mountfield
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. We are often asked to cater warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and christmas customer days, serving gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Mountfield, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
