A chip van near Kiln Green
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Kiln Green
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. Typical bookings include festive gatherings after Christmas and PTA Christmas events, with mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Kiln Green, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Kiln Green questions
How far is Kiln Green from London?
About 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Kiln Green?
Wargrave station, about 2 miles west of the centre.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Confirm allergies by email
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

Why Kiln Green hosts choose us

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
