Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- All the chip-shop extras
- Hot food handed straight over
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Stowting Common
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. For staff Christmas parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce for your guests.
Near Stowting Common, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Plan cover for the queue
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
