What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Inkpen, so put the van where there is good light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Inkpen
Is Inkpen close to London?
About 60 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Inkpen?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Can the van come to Inkpen?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Inkpen is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Get in touch with the date.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Put allergy details in writing
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Flag any coeliac guests
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
