DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In December, it is dark in Silverhill by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan cover for the queue

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Silverhill
Is Silverhill close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve near the sea around Silverhill?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
