Christmas party fish and chips in Stroud, fried fresh
The van parks outside and serves hot food. Typical bookings include festive gatherings after Christmas and club and society Christmas socials, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In winter near Stroud, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. It gets dark in Stroud by about 4:00pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Ensure the van can get in

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
