Common questions in Poffley End
How far is Poffley End from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Poffley End?
Finstock station, about 3 miles north of the centre.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cover Poffley End?
We do. Poffley End is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Send us the details.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A chip van gives a choice. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. December in Poffley End means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Plan cover for the queue
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
