Fresh fish and chips in Drayton Beauchamp
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Drayton Beauchamp
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. For depot Christmas treats and office Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In winter near Drayton Beauchamp, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What else we do in Drayton Beauchamp
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Drayton Beauchamp questions
Can the van park in Tring Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Drayton Beauchamp?
Tring station, about 3 miles east of the centre.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What if it is raining or freezing?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As soon as you have a date.
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Plan your Christmas party in Drayton Beauchamp around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
