About our Christmas party fish and chips in Lavendon
It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. On the menu are sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater family Christmas get-togethers and lights switch-on events.
In winter near Lavendon, we need firm ground and light. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Book as early as possible for December
- Confirm allergies by email
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

FAQs for Lavendon
Is Lavendon too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Lavendon close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Plan your Christmas party in Lavendon around the dark: sunset is about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
