How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Christmas party fish and chips in Boxgrove, cooked to order
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. We are frequently asked to cater school and PTA Christmas fairs and festive gatherings after Christmas, serving cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
For a Christmas party near Boxgrove, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

FAQs for Boxgrove
Which station is closest to Boxgrove?
Chichester station, about 3.5 miles south-west of the centre.
How far is Boxgrove from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Send us your date and site details.
Can the van come to Boxgrove?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Boxgrove. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Warehouse and depot Christmas lunches
- Christmas customer days
- New Year parties
- Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.

- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- What happens if plans change

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. An afternoon Christmas party in Boxgrove can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
