Dadford: your questions answered
How far is Dadford from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Stowe Park and Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
When should we book for December?
As soon as you have a date.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 typically simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Book as early as possible for December
- Collect allergies in advance
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. An afternoon Christmas party in Dadford can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
