A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. We are frequently asked to cater christmas socials for clubs and new Year parties, serving gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
In Haddenham, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Haddenham questions
How far is Haddenham from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
