A chip van near Burkham
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Burkham
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, with service timed to each group. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater school and PTA Christmas fairs and end-of-year club parties.
In a small place like Burkham, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Check the van can park on site
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Book as early as possible for December
Send people out in groups.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Burkham questions
Is Burkham close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Burkham?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
When should we book for December?
As soon as you have a date.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
