Christmas party fish and chips in Broughton
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Check the van can park on site
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- Distance and any road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

- The address or venue name

Broughton: your questions answered
Is Broughton too small for a chip van?

What’s the nearest station to Broughton?
Banbury station, about 2.7 miles north-east of the centre.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
When should we eat?

What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
