Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Eton Wick
Is Eton Wick too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Sutherland Grange?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you serve in the cold?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you cover Eton Wick?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Eton Wick and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Keep the queue dry
For a work party, food early in the evening typically works best.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
