Questions from Frilford
Do you come out to small places like Frilford?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Frilford close to London?
About 56 miles from central London.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Frilford

For a Christmas party near Frilford, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your Christmas party. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Frilford, so put the van where there’s good light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Ensure the van can get in
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
