Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Hawridge
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. Whether it is festive family gatherings and end-of-year club parties, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In winter near Hawridge, we need firm ground and light. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Festive lights by the van look great.
What affects the price in Hawridge
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in

- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children

Common questions in Hawridge
Do you come out to small places like Hawridge?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
