How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Aldermaston Soke
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. Typical bookings include festive family gatherings and festive open days, serving gravy, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In winter near Aldermaston Soke, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Working with your venue

Aldermaston Soke is about 2 miles north-east of Tadley, in West Berkshire. Aldermaston Soke is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We take the van to 155 places in West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Aldermaston Soke to Reading (about 8 miles away).
Train travellers will want to know that the nearest station is Aldermaston station, about 2.4 miles north. If a church like Saint Luke's Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.

Aldermaston Soke questions
How far is Aldermaston Soke from London?
About 45 miles from central London.
Is Aldermaston Soke too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Aldermaston Soke?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Sunset in Aldermaston Soke in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Tell us when you want to eat
How to get a price

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Aldermaston Soke?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A chip van gives a choice. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
