Christmas party fish and chips in Strettington, cooked to order
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for school and PTA Christmas fairs and christmas lunches for shift teams.
In a small place like Strettington, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Questions from Strettington
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come out to small places like Strettington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to Strettington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Strettington. To check your date, use our quote form.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. By about 4:00pm in late December, it’s dark in Strettington; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
