What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Confirm allergies by email
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
