Christmas party fish and chips in Longstock
Christmas party fish and chips in Longstock, cooked to order
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. Popular choices include curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas lunches for shift teams and office Christmas parties.
In winter near Longstock, we need firm ground and light. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Questions from Longstock
Can the van park in Longstock Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
How far is Longstock from London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Longstock.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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:
- The menu and how many choices

- The minimum booking
