How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Bishop's Green
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, with service timed to each group. Popular choices include cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for PTA Christmas events and depot Christmas treats.
In winter near Bishop's Green, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Send round an allergy question
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Confirm allergies by email
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

What else we do in Bishop's Green
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A chip van gives a choice. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Hot food handed straight over
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Bookings across West Berkshire, including Bishop's Green
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where the van would park

How far is Bishop's Green from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Bishop's Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bishop's Green.

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Step by step
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. By about 4:00pm in late December, it is dark in Bishop's Green; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
How to get a price
