About our Christmas party fish and chips in Priestwood
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. Popular choices include curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and festive gatherings after Christmas.
In Priestwood, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Priestwood, so put the van where there is good light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price

Planning a Christmas party in Priestwood
Priestwood is about 1 mile north-west of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. For Christmas parties in Priestwood, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. Priestwood is one of 41 places in Bracknell Forest where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Priestwood to Reading (about 9 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as St Andrew can book the van as a hot-food stall. A winter fair at a school like Meadow Vale Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
Wherever your Christmas party is in RG42, RG12 and RG45, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Park Lane, Kiln Lane and Jock's Lane; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For Christmas parties just outside Priestwood, we cover Temple Park (1 mile north-west), Farley Wood (1 mile west), Quelm Park (1 mile north-east), Popeswood (1 mile west) and Bracknell (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Sandhurst (5 miles south), College Town (6 miles south), Little Sandhurst (5 miles south) and Owlsmoor (5 miles south). As one of the bigger places in Bracknell Forest, Priestwood has lots of places where the van can park.
Well-known places in the area include The Lexicon (0.7 miles south-east) and Pinewood Hospital (2.9 miles south-west). Open spaces near Priestwood include Holt Copse & Joel Park and Heath Lake.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we will check the date and send a price.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
