How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Plummers Plain
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. For festive family gatherings and staff Christmas parties, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For a Christmas party near Plummers Plain, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
