No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan lighting near the hatch
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Festive lights by the van look great.
How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Plan your Christmas party in Ramsdell around the dark: sunset is about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
