A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Whether it is christmas family parties and depot Christmas treats, we can cook gravy, haddock and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
In winter near Redenham, we need firm ground and light. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Who books Christmas party fish and chips in Redenham?
It suits shift teams who cannot all go out together.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:
- Christmas lunches for shift teams
- End-of-year club parties
- Festive open days
- PTA Christmas events
A winter fair at a school like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
