Christmas party fish and chips in Sarisbury, cooked to order
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, with service timed to each group. For family Christmas get-togethers and school and PTA Christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
In Sarisbury, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Sarisbury questions
Is Sarisbury close to London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve near the sea around Sarisbury?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.

- A picture of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

What the van needs

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat in Sarisbury. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
