How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Perham Down

Perham Down questions
How far is Perham Down from London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Perham Down?
Grateley station, about 4.9 miles south of the centre.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
