Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Collect allergies in advance
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we will come back with availability and a quote.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Nutbourne?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- A clear quote before you book

- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. 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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
