FAQs for Cold Harbour
What’s the nearest station to Cold Harbour?
Wargrave station, about 3.3 miles west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Cold Harbour?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Send us the details.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. An afternoon Christmas party in Cold Harbour can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
