Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Cockpole Green
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. We serve gravy, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for lights switch-on events and depot Christmas treats.
For a Christmas party near Cockpole Green, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

How it works

- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- Anything awkward about the way in

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Cockpole Green
Which station is closest to Cockpole Green?
The closest is Shiplake station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Can the van park in Mill Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
