What else we do in Upminster Bridge
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. An afternoon Christmas party in Upminster Bridge can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
