Common questions in Bagshot
Could you trade in Bagshot Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Bagshot close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Will the weather be a problem?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Bagshot
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for staff Christmas parties and christmas socials for clubs.
At a festive party in Bagshot, a chip van on the drive is a treat on a dark December evening. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How the day works
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. In December, it is dark in Bagshot by 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.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
