Is Yarbridge too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Christmas party fish and chips in Yarbridge, fried fresh
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for christmas family parties and end-of-year club parties.

- How much space the van takes up
- The deposit and payment dates
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
- Whether VAT is included
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Sunset in Yarbridge in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
