Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Pollards Hill; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
