Christmas party fish and chips in Sway, cooked to order
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater festive gatherings after Christmas and office Christmas parties.
Around Sway, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Plan your Christmas party in Sway around the dark: sunset is about 4:05pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Name one person we can call on the day

Christmas fairs at a church such as St Luke's Church can book the van as a hot-food stall.
