What else we do in Drayton Parslow
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Service time
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Drayton Parslow
Which station is closest to Drayton Parslow?
The closest is Bletchley station, roughly 3.7 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Drayton Parslow?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
