A chip van near Worlds End
Christmas party fish and chips in Worlds End, cooked to order
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and typical bookings are for christmas family parties and depot Christmas treats.
Near Worlds End, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
