Fresh fish and chips in Cippenham
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Cippenham
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. For christmas family parties and christmas lunches for shift teams, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and gravy.
Around Cippenham, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Keep the queue dry
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. An afternoon Christmas party in Cippenham can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Cippenham
What’s the nearest station to Cippenham?
The closest is Burnham station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Could you trade in Haymill Valley?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if it is raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can the van come to Cippenham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Cippenham is within our area and the rest of Slough. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
