Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. 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.

Bow Brickhill: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Bow Brickhill?
Bow Brickhill station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Is Bow Brickhill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
