Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in North Street
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. For christmas markets and fairs and school and PTA Christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
Near North Street, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In December, it’s dark in North Street by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Ensure the van can get in

Occasions we serve in North Street

Whatever the occasion in North Street, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We are often booked for:
- End-of-year customer events

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
