Highmoor Cross questions
Can the van go 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.
What’s the nearest station to Highmoor Cross?
The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Will the weather be a problem?
The van copes fine. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
