A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check the van can park on site
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Afterwards, we pack up.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. The frying and serving are down to us. December in West Town means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
