Christmas party fish and chips in Painters Ash, fried fresh
It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for lights switch-on events and festive gatherings after Christmas.
At a festive party in Painters Ash, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
