Christmas party fish and chips in Wallend, fried fresh
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for lights switch-on events and christmas socials for clubs.
For Christmas parties in Wallend, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. In London, access needs planning. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Take a look at how we price or what a fish and chip van costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
