About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, 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.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Hulcote
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. We are often asked to cater work Christmas parties and christmas customer days, with pie and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
In winter near Hulcote, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just use our quote form.

If people are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Ridgmont station, roughly 1 mile south-east of the centre.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In December, it’s dark in Hulcote by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Common questions in Hulcote
Which station is closest to Hulcote?
The closest is Ridgmont station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is Hulcote too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Milton Keynes. Find your area.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- 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
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
