A chip van near Townsend
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Townsend
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. Whether it is end-of-year customer events and christmas markets and fairs, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips for your guests.
Near Townsend, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Check the van can park on site
- Send round an allergy question
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Townsend
What’s the nearest station to Townsend?
Midgham station, about 4.9 miles north of the centre.
Is Townsend too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
When should we eat?
Food early on is usually wise. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Plan your Christmas party in Townsend around the dark: sunset is about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
