Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Collect allergies in advance
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let us know about coeliac disease
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Long Crendon
Is Long Crendon close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Long Crendon?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Long Crendon?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
On the menu in Long Crendon
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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 is fried on the spot.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. An afternoon Christmas party in Long Crendon can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
