Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Higher Denham
What’s the nearest station to Higher Denham?
Higher Denham has its own station: Denham Golf Club station.
How far is Higher Denham from London?
About 19 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
When should we eat?
Food early on is generally wise. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Christmas party fish and chips in Higher Denham, cooked to order
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. For festive open days and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we can cook curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
In winter near Higher Denham, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. It gets dark in Higher Denham by about 3:55pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
A chip van compared with other options
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Keep the queue dry
- Send round an allergy question
- Put allergy details in writing
Send people out in groups in the cold.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
The menu, dish by dish

- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
