How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Styants Bottom
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. Whether it’s christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and festive gatherings after Christmas, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
In a small place like Styants Bottom, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Book as early as possible for December
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
Afterwards, we pack up.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
