Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hinton Waldrist?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
