For a Christmas party near Kencot, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. An afternoon Christmas party in Kencot can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

These details help us quote quickly:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Keep the queue dry
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A chip van gives a choice. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
