A chip van near Satmar

- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van

Christmas party fish and chips in Satmar, cooked to order
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater depot Christmas treats and festive family gatherings.
In winter near Satmar, we need firm ground and light. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. By about 3:50pm in late December, it’s dark in Satmar; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
