Christmas parties in Chesham Bois: local tips
Chesham Bois is about 1 mile north of Amersham, in Buckinghamshire. People in Chesham Bois book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Chesham Bois is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 23 miles away.
Train travellers will want to know that Amersham station, about 0.8 miles south, is the nearest station. A Christmas fair at Church of St Leonard is just the kind of event a chip van suits. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Chesham Bois, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your Christmas party. It gets dark in Chesham Bois by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Share the timings for the day

What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Check the van can park on site
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Before you choose a 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
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
