How to compare vans

Planning the van’s spot

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Popular choices

  • Gravy
  • Cod and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Curry sauce
  • Sausage and chips
  • Mushy peas

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Why Bradwell Abbey hosts choose us

  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • Bookings across Milton Keynes, including Bradwell Abbey
  • Classic food your guests already know

Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.

Questions from Bradwell Abbey

Do you come out to small places like Bradwell Abbey?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Could you trade in South Loughton Valley park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.

When should we eat?

At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.

Do you do Christmas markets?

We do. Tell us the date and pitch.

Can you cater for allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Do we need to provide anything?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
