Christmas party fish and chips for Ramsden events
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Ramsden
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. For christmas markets and fairs and festive family gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
In a small place like Ramsden, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Space for people to queue at the hatch

Ramsden questions
How far is Ramsden from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Ramsden?
The closest is Finstock station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van brings the meal to the team. 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.
