Step by step
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Plan your Christmas party in Greenham around the dark: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Questions from Greenham
Can the van park in Sandleford Priory?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Greenham from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
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 will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What if it is raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
