  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • A short walk from the party
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

Christmas party fish and chips in Haydon Hill, fried fresh

A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. For staff Christmas parties and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.

At a festive party in Haydon Hill, the van on the drive goes down well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

A chip van compared with other options

For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a chip van is hard to beat. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Why Haydon Hill hosts choose us

  • Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

See our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.

How the day works

On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your Christmas party. In December, it is dark in Haydon Hill by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Getting ready for the day

  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Clear the route for the van

Events we cater in Haydon Hill

No restaurant booking, no taxis.

Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are often booked for:

  • Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons
  • Warehouse and depot Christmas lunches
  • End-of-year customer events
  • Office Christmas parties

A winter fair at a school like Thomas Hickman School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Details that help

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Where the van would park
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Tell facilities or the venue about the van

Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.

A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.

Common questions in Haydon Hill

Can the van go 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 far is Haydon Hill from London?

Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.

What happens if it rains?

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.

Is there something for children?

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

Do you come to Haydon Hill?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Haydon Hill is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

What if it is raining or freezing?

The van copes fine. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

What can guests choose from?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

The menu, dish by dish

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Working with your venue

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
