Christmas party fish and chips in Charvil, cooked to order
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. For PTA Christmas events and festive open days, we can cook gravy, sausage and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
At a festive party in Charvil, a chip van on the drive is a treat on a dark December evening. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. In December, it is dark in Charvil by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

FAQs for Charvil
Could you trade in Loddon Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Charvil?
The closest is Twyford station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Do you come to Charvil?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Charvil is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Charvil.
