About our Christmas party fish and chips in Send Marsh
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and christmas family parties, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Near Send Marsh, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In December, it’s dark in Send Marsh by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
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. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
