Christmas party fish and chips in Broughton, fried fresh
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater PTA Christmas events and end-of-year club parties.
Around Broughton, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van brings the meal to the team. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

How the day works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your Christmas party. Plan your Christmas party in Broughton around the dark: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Broughton Fields Primary School, suit a chip van. A Christmas fair at St Lawrence's Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits.
For Christmas parties in MK10, MK16 and MK15, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Ripley Road, Milton Road and Aureol Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Kingston (1 mile south), Moulsoe (1 mile north-east), Glebe Farm (2 miles south-east), Wavendon (2 miles south-east) and Salford (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Milton Keynes (3 miles west), Bletchley (4 miles south-west), Newport Pagnell (3 miles north-west), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (4 miles south), Furzton (4 miles south-west) and Whitehouse (5 miles west).

FAQs for Broughton
Is Broughton close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Broughton?
Woburn Sands station, about 2.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
The cost per head normally 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.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
