Christmas party fish and chips in Hungerford
Christmas party fish and chips in Hungerford, cooked to order
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. Typical bookings include christmas fairs at schools and new Year parties, serving gravy, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In winter near Hungerford, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Questions from Hungerford
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Hungerford too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. December in Hungerford means early darkness: sunset is about 4:05pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
