Christmas party fish and chips in Postcombe, cooked to order

The van parks outside and serves hot food. Whether it’s warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce and more.

In winter near Postcombe, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Looking after everyone

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • Book as early as possible for December
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
  • Tell facilities or the venue about the van
  • Think about a gazebo or covered doorway

A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.

A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

Step by step

From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your Christmas party in Postcombe. An afternoon Christmas party in Postcombe can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Prices and what affects them

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • How long we serve
  • Numbers
  • How far we travel
  • Cod, haddock or both

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

What to tell us

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

FAQs for Postcombe

Do you come out to small places like Postcombe?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Is Postcombe close to London?

About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.

What can guests choose from?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Do you do work Christmas parties?

Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.

Can the van park on grass?

Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Do you come to Postcombe?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Postcombe and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?

Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

A chip van compared with other options

Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Why book with us

  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • No kitchen needed
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
