How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Norton
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas fairs at schools.
Near Norton, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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’s fried on the spot.
About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your Christmas party. In December, it is dark in Norton by about 4:05pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Norton.
