FAQs for Gundleton
How far is Gundleton from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Gundleton 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.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we will send a quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Who books Christmas party fish and chips in Gundleton?
It works for teams who cannot leave site.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Family Christmas get-togethers
- Lights switch-on events
- Staff Christmas parties

Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of All Saints draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.
