DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December in Newnham Murren means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand
