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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Partridge Green in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children

Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
