Christmas party fish and chips for Steep Marsh events
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
Christmas party fish and chips in Steep Marsh, cooked to order
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. Whether it is festive gatherings after Christmas and end-of-year customer events, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce and more.
In winter near Steep Marsh, we need firm ground and light. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What affects the price in Steep Marsh
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Plan cover for the queue.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the hatch

- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce

Food your guests will love
