A closer look at the menu

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

A winter fair at a school like Great Milton Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Great Haseley is within about 8 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

What affects the price in Great Haseley
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- December Fridays go first: book early

- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Great Haseley
How far is Great Haseley from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Great Haseley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What happens if it rains?
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 much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Will the weather be a problem?
The van copes fine. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
