A chip van near Bramshill
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Bramshill
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Typical bookings include warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
In winter near Bramshill, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Bramshill questions
Do you come out to small places like Bramshill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Wellington Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

- Choose a lit spot for the van

For a work party, food early in the evening typically works best.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests usually gather round the hatch once service starts. In December, it’s dark in Bramshill by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
