Christmas party fish and chips for Madley Park events
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. In December, it is dark in Madley Park by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van can be better value. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Madley Park questions
How far is Madley Park from London?
About 62 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Madley Park?
The closest is Combe station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
