Christmas party fish and chips in Peasmarsh, fried fresh

The van parks outside and serves hot food. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas fairs at schools and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons.

For a Christmas party near Peasmarsh, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

Prices and what affects them

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • The day of the week
  • Parking and the way in
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • How long we serve

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Getting an accurate quote

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • The address or venue name
  • Your date and serving time
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Planning for dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Choose a lit spot for the van
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
  • Confirm allergies by email

Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.

Crackers on the tables finish it off.

Step by step

Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace. It gets dark in Peasmarsh by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Plan where the queue will stand
