Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan cover for the queue
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What to tell us
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
Send us the date, the address or TN5 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
