A chip van near South Harting
Christmas party fish and chips in South Harting, cooked to order
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. For end-of-year club parties and festive family gatherings, we can cook pie and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
In a small place like South Harting, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a chip van is hard to beat. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Why book with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
