How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Pedlinge
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. Popular choices include sausage and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for festive family gatherings and PTA Christmas events.
Near Pedlinge, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
- 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. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
