Christmas party fish and chips in Hungerford, fried fresh
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. We are often asked to cater festive open days and depot Christmas treats, with gravy, curry sauce and mushy peas.
At a festive party in Hungerford, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
