Christmas party fish and chips in Spring Vale, cooked to order
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. We’re frequently asked to cater depot Christmas treats and christmas fairs at schools, with cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Spring Vale, 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
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Send us the date, the address or PO34 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

A closer look at the menu

A Christmas fair at St. Peter's Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Nettlestone Primary School, suit a chip van. The coast is within about 2 miles of Spring Vale, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Spring Vale questions
How far is Spring Vale from London?
About 70 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve near the sea around Spring Vale?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
When should we eat?
Food early on is usually wise. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Book as early as possible for December
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Agree the spot with the venue
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
