About our Christmas party fish and chips in Coombe
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. On the menu are gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas customer days and staff Christmas parties.
In a small place like Coombe, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Coombe questions
Which station is closest to Coombe?
Little Kimble station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Coombe?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Coombe in December: what to know
Coombe is about 5 miles south of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Coombe, and we’ll plan access and set-up. We serve 263 places in Buckinghamshire. Our bookings stretch from Coombe to Oxford (19 miles away).
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Great Kimble Church of England School, hot fish and chips goes down well. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Peter and St Paul draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 2 miles of Coombe; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Wherever your Christmas party is in HP17, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Butler's Cross (1 mile north), Ellesborough (1 mile north-west), Chalkshire (1 mile north), Terrick (1 mile north) and Nash Lee (1 mile north). Further out, we also take the van to Aylesbury (5 miles north), High Wycombe (8 miles south), Chesham (8 miles east), Marlow (12 miles south), Amersham (9 miles south-east) and Beaconsfield (11 miles south-east).
A little further out are Little Kimble Motte (1 mile west) and Trenchard Museum (3.1 miles north-east). The countryside around Coombe includes Brush Hill Local Nature Reserve and Coombe Hill.
- Local schools include John Colet School (2.1 miles north-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Russell Arms (less than half a mile north)
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In December, it’s dark in Coombe by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van

Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
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.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Book as early as possible for December
- Put allergy details in writing
- Agree the spot with the venue
When service is finished, we pack up.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Where the van can park in Coombe
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
