Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. An afternoon Christmas party in Crowthorne can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there is good light.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Book as early as possible for December
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Agree the spot with the venue
Send people out in groups in the cold.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
