Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Fernham
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. Popular choices include gravy, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas markets and fairs and festive gatherings after Christmas.
Near Fernham, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Fernham?
By December, many people have had several Christmas dinners, so fish and chips is a welcome change.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. In Fernham, people book us for events such as:
- Christmas customer days
- Staff Christmas parties
- Christmas fairs at schools
- Christmas socials for clubs
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St John draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. An afternoon Christmas party in Fernham can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Make sure the van can get in
Getting a price
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Check the van can park on site
- Book as early as possible for December
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Where the van can park in Fernham
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch
- Gravy
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Questions from Fernham
Do you come out to small places like Fernham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Fernham close to London?
About 64 miles from central London.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can the van come to Fernham?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Fernham is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve in the cold?
The van copes fine. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
