Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
How it works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Pusey, so put the van where there’s good light.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand

For event organisers in Pusey
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Pusey: your questions answered
Is Pusey close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Pusey too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
What’s on the menu?
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is one dish. A chip van gives a choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Why Pusey hosts choose us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Quick service from the hatch
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 generally the easier option.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
