Fresh fish and chips in Sheldwich
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Sheldwich
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. Whether it is family Christmas get-togethers and work Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
In winter near Sheldwich, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Sheldwich
Do you come out to small places like Sheldwich?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Sheldwich close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is normally wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
