Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Meadle
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. Popular choices include gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for club and society Christmas socials and family Christmas get-togethers.
In winter near Meadle, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Plan your Christmas party in Meadle around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Common questions in Meadle
Is Meadle too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
