A chip van near North Halling
About our Christmas party fish and chips in North Halling
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. We’re frequently asked to cater depot Christmas treats and staff Christmas parties, with curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips.
For a Christmas party near North Halling, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. By about 3:50pm in late December, it is dark in North Halling; park the van where there is good light.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Keep the queue dry
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
