Christmas party fish and chips in The Brents, cooked to order
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. For warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and christmas family parties, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Around The Brents, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in The Brents
Is The Brents close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Oare Meadow?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
When should we book for December?
Very early. Fridays in December book up first.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
