Christmas party fish and chips in West Marden, fried fresh
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. For warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In a small place like West Marden, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
