Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Great Rollright
Is Great Rollright too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Great Rollright from London?
About 70 miles from central London.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Planning the van’s spot

- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
