Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Farley Wood
What’s the nearest station to Farley Wood?
Bracknell station, about 1.3 miles east of the centre.
How far is Farley Wood from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Bookings across Bracknell Forest, including Farley Wood
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
