Christmas party fish and chips in Hinton Ampner, cooked to order
The van parks outside and serves hot food. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for christmas socials for clubs and depot Christmas treats.
Near Hinton Ampner, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How the day works

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.

For event organisers in Hinton Ampner
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Questions from Hinton Ampner
How far is Hinton Ampner from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Hinton Ampner?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
How do you handle allergies?

Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What time is best for food?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Plan cover for the queue
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
