A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Christmas parties in Cheapside: local tips
Cheapside is about 4 miles south of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Cheapside. Cheapside is one of 57 towns and villages in Windsor and Maidenhead where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 12 miles away.
Train travellers will want to know that the nearest station is Ascot station, about 1.6 miles south-west. A winter fair at a school like Cheapside CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
For Christmas parties in SL5, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Water Splash Lane, Dorian Drive and Cheapside Road, wherever the van can park. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Beggar's Bush (1 mile south-east), Ascot (1 mile south-west), Blacknest (1 mile south-east), Woodside (1 mile north-west) and Sunninghill (1 mile south). We also serve nearby towns such as Maidenhead (8 miles north-west), Windsor (4 miles north), Boyn Hill (7 miles north-west), Cookham (10 miles north), Furze Platt (9 miles north-west) and Dedworth (4 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Heatherwood Hospital (1.8 miles west) and Berkshire Yeomanry Museum (3.9 miles north-east). Open spaces near Cheapside include Virginia Water Lake and Gracious Pond.
- Local schools include Papplewick School (1.4 miles west) and Charters School (1.8 miles south)
- Nearby, you will find Thatched Tavern Public House (under half a mile south-east)

Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Something for guests to gather round
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Cheapside
Can the van park in Silwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Cheapside?
The closest is Ascot station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What time is best for food?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Agree the spot with the venue
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
