Christmas party fish and chips for North Looe events
Christmas party fish and chips in North Looe, fried fresh
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 end-of-year club parties and PTA Christmas events, serving sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
For a Christmas party near North Looe, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. 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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the space and the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
