- Access and parking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Questions from Little Posbrook
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Little Posbrook close to London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Check the van can park on site
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
