How our party fish and chip van works in Christmas Pie
It’s a treat that feels special without being formal: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are often booked for christenings and naming days and milestone birthdays.
A country party near Christmas Pie is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. A summer party in Christmas Pie stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
