- Service time
- How many people are eating
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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Flag any coeliac guests
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Loudwater in December: what to know
Loudwater is about 2 miles west of Beaconsfield, in Buckinghamshire. Loudwater is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We take the van to all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Loudwater to Reading (16 miles away).
A Christmas fair at Church of St Peter is just the kind of event a chip van suits. A winter fair at a school like Loudwater Combined School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Loudwater, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over HP10 and HP11. Your Christmas party could be at a house on London Road, Station Road and Loudwater Mill or the roads around them, wherever the van can park.
