What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.

The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Plan your Christmas party in Sheet around the dark: sunset is about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day

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.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
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 we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space and the way in
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
