Akeley questions
Do you come out to small places like Akeley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Akeley close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you do Christmas markets?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

About the food
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. Sunset in Akeley in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- 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
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 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.
