About our Christmas party fish and chips in Russell's Green
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for festive gatherings after Christmas and lights switch-on events.
Near Russell's Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Russell's Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Russell's Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Russell's Green from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
