A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Orchard Leigh in December: what to know
Orchard Leigh is about 2 miles east of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. We cover Orchard Leigh as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We serve all 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Orchard Leigh to Milton Keynes (23 miles away).
A Christmas fair at St George's Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Ley Hill School, suit a chip van. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Orchard Leigh; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Christmas parties anywhere in HP5 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Rushmere Lane and Jasons Hill, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Lye Green (1 mile west), Botley (1 mile south), Ley Hill (1 mile south), Tyler's Hill (1 mile south) and Ashley Green (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Aylesbury (12 miles north-west), High Wycombe (10 miles south-west), Marlow (13 miles south-west), Amersham (3 miles south-west), Beaconsfield (8 miles south-west) and Chalfont St Peter (8 miles south).

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. December in Orchard Leigh means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
