Fresh fish and chips in Olney
Christmas party fish and chips in Olney, fried fresh
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas markets and fairs.
Around Olney, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Olney
How far is Olney from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
What affects the price in Olney
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- The length of service
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van can be better value. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
Why Olney hosts choose us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Bookings across Milton Keynes, including Olney
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
- How allergens are handled
- The cancellation terms
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
