DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Pyle Hill
Do you come out to small places like Pyle Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Mayford Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In December, it’s dark in Pyle Hill by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
How to get a price

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Check the van can park on site
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Plan cover for the queue.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
