Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Fingest
Which station is closest to Fingest?
Saunderton station, about 4.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Fingest?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Fingest?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening typically works best. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name

Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
