Christmas party fish and chips for Myrke events
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Myrke
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. We’re frequently asked to cater new Year parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
In winter near Myrke, we need firm ground and light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
A chip van compared with other options
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van can be better value. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Myrke: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Myrke?
Slough station, about 0.9 miles north of the centre.
Can the van park in Herschel Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening generally works best. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. In December, it is dark in Myrke by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price

Occasions we serve in Myrke
By December, many people have had several Christmas dinners, so a chip van makes a nice change.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We are frequently booked for:
- Christmas lunches for shift teams
- Family Christmas get-togethers
- Festive open days
- Christmas fairs at schools
A Christmas fair at Church of St Laurence is just the kind of event a chip van suits.
What to look for in a quote
- How much space the van takes up
- Whether there is a minimum
- Payment terms and deposit
- VAT, if it applies
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
