How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Booker
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We serve curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for christmas markets and fairs and christmas fairs at schools.
Around Booker, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Booker questions
How far is Booker from London?
About 31 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Booker?
High Wycombe station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Booker?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. In December, it is dark in Booker 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.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Have a back-up for special diets
When service is finished, we pack up.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
