How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Sulhamstead
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. We’re often asked to cater office Christmas parties and christmas customer days, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Sulhamstead, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Contact us with the date.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a chip van is hard to beat in Sulhamstead. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
