Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Minley
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. We’re frequently asked to cater school and PTA Christmas fairs and christmas markets and fairs, with curry sauce, cod and chips and gravy.
In a small place like Minley, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Minley: your questions answered
Could you trade in Ancells Farm Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Is Minley close to London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van come to Minley?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Minley. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
