Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Chalfont St Peter
Could you trade in Bulstrode Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Chalfont St Peter close to London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book for December?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Plan your Christmas party in Chalfont St Peter around the dark: the light goes at 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Ensure the van can get in

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s one dish. A chip van gives a choice. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
