Occasions we serve in Upton
Christmas dinner fatigue is real, so a chip van makes a nice change.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Upton book the van for events such as:
- Christmas fairs at schools
- Family Christmas get-togethers
- Festive gatherings after Christmas
- Warehouse and depot Christmas lunches
A winter fair at a school like Stone Church of England Combined School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Sunset in Upton in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Contact us 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.
- 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
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Make sure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day

A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
