How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Lordington questions
Can the van park in Stansted Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Lordington close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening usually works best. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
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.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Who books Christmas party fish and chips in Lordington?
No restaurant booking, no taxis, because the van comes to you.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Warehouse and depot Christmas lunches
- Festive open days
- School and PTA Christmas fairs
- Club and society Christmas socials
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Racton Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.
Questions to ask before booking
- Allergen information for each item
- How many hours the van serves
- Whether there is a minimum
- When payment is due
A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
