An afternoon Christmas party in Murcott can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Murcott
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. On the menu are mushy peas, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas fairs at schools and family Christmas get-togethers.
Near Murcott, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
