How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Enborne
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. Whether it is school and PTA Christmas fairs and christmas markets and fairs, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
In a small place like Enborne, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What affects the price in Enborne
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Enborne, so put the van where there is good light.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
Ask for a quote

Questions from Enborne
Can the van park in Hamstead Marshall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Enborne close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Flag any coeliac guests

- Have a back-up for special diets
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event

- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
