Christmas party fish and chips for South Gorley events
About our Christmas party fish and chips in South Gorley
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. On the menu are cod and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for christmas family parties and office Christmas parties.
In a small place like South Gorley, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
What happens on the day
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Plan your Christmas party in South Gorley around the dark: sunset is about 4:05pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
