Christmas party fish and chips in Owlsmoor
Christmas party fish and chips in Owlsmoor, fried fresh
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. For staff Christmas parties and PTA Christmas events, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In Owlsmoor, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

Owlsmoor in December: what to know
Owlsmoor is about 1 mile north of Sandhurst, in Bracknell Forest. People in Owlsmoor book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Owlsmoor is one of 41 places in Bracknell Forest where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 10 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St George's Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Owlsmoor Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

Owlsmoor: your questions answered
Is Owlsmoor close to London?
About 31 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Owlsmoor?
The closest is Sandhurst station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. December in Owlsmoor means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Clear the route for the van
