About our Christmas party fish and chips in Upper Beeding
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. For school and PTA Christmas fairs and depot Christmas treats, we can cook cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
In winter near Upper Beeding, we need firm ground and light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
Why us?
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
