About our Christmas party fish and chips in Charndon
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. For PTA Christmas events and end-of-year club parties, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Near Charndon, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Common questions in Charndon
How far is Charndon from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Charndon?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening usually works best. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Pie and chips

The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. In December, it is dark in Charndon by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
When service is finished, we pack up.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- 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
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
