About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Bramdean
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. Whether it is PTA Christmas events and office Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips and more.
In a small place like Bramdean, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Where the van can park in Bramdean
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Send round an allergy question
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Plan cover for the queue
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Classic food your guests already know
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

FAQs for Bramdean
How far is Bramdean from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Bramdean too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
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.
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Bramdean in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
