How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Amersham
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas fairs at schools and festive gatherings after Christmas, serving gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
In a town like Amersham, a Christmas party might be at the office, a club or home. We need a lit spot close to the door. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Planning a Christmas party in Amersham
Amersham is about 7 miles north-east of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. From the centre of Amersham to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We serve 263 places across Buckinghamshire. Our bookings stretch from Amersham to Reading (23 miles away).
The A355 and A404 make Amersham easy to reach on a dark winter evening. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Home Tuition Service, suit a chip van. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Amersham, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

Streets in the area include Station Road, London Road West and Market Square, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
Why book with us
- No kitchen needed
- Hot food handed straight over
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Read how we price or our guide to van hire costs.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Agree the spot with the venue
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A spot near your guests

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Numbers
- Service time
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the parking spot
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. In December, it is dark in Amersham by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
