Christmas party fish and chips in Boughton Corner, cooked to order
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. We are frequently asked to cater end-of-year customer events and christmas family parties, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
In winter near Boughton Corner, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. At about 3:50pm in late December, it gets dark in Boughton Corner, so put the van where there is good light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Common questions in Boughton Corner
How far is Boughton Corner from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Boughton Corner?
The closest is Wye station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
