- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Ashendon
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. Typical bookings include christmas socials for clubs and festive gatherings after Christmas, with curry sauce, pie and chips and gravy.
In winter near Ashendon, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Book as early as possible for December
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Collect allergies in advance
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 typically the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Sunset in Ashendon in late December is about 3:55pm, 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.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
