Bracknell station, about 3.2 miles south of the centre.

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Hawthorn Hill
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for depot Christmas treats and festive family gatherings.
For a Christmas party near Hawthorn Hill, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Events we cater in Hawthorn Hill
It’s hot food on a cold day.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We regularly serve:
- Festive gatherings after Christmas
- Office Christmas parties
- Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons
- End-of-year customer events
A winter fair at a school like Holyport College gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
Before booking anyone
- Any minimum charge
- Whether travel is included
- How many hours the van serves
- Allergen information for each item
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Send round an allergy question
- Keep the queue dry
- Put allergy details in writing
- Choose a lit spot for the van
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
