We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name

Frilsham in December: what to know
Frilsham is about 4 miles north-east of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. Wherever your Christmas party is in the RG18 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. Frilsham is one of 155 places in West Berkshire where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Frilsham to Reading (about 10 miles away).
If people are coming by rail, Midgham station is about 4.3 miles away. If a church like Church of St Frideswide is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Frilsham; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
We serve Christmas parties across the RG18 postcode area. We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as Beechfield Lane, Hatchets Lane and Chapel Lane, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Yattendon (1 mile north-east), Wellhouse (2 miles west), Little Hungerford (2 miles west), Hampstead Norreys (2 miles north-west) and Oare (2 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Newbury (6 miles south-west), Thatcham (4 miles south-west), Burghfield Common (8 miles south-east), Speenhamland (6 miles south-west), Hungerford (13 miles west) and Spencers Wood (11 miles east).
Nearby you will also find West Berkshire Community Hospital (4.7 miles south-west) and Yattendon Castle (1 mile north). Green spaces nearby include Nature Discovery Centre.
- Pubs nearby include The Pot Kiln pub (less than half a mile east)
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- A quote that spells everything out
- No kitchen needed
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
