Christmas party fish and chips for Quarley events
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Quarley
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. Whether it is christmas lunches for shift teams and lights switch-on events, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In winter near Quarley, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Send round an allergy question
- Confirm allergies by email
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check the van can park on site
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Festive lights by the van look great.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Events we cater in Quarley
It works for teams who can’t leave site.
Whatever the occasion in Quarley, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We’re frequently booked for:
- Festive family gatherings
- School and PTA Christmas fairs
- Christmas lunches for shift teams
- Christmas socials for clubs
If a church like Church of St Michael is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.

For event organisers in Quarley
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat in Quarley. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Step by step

- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Quarley questions
What’s the nearest station to Quarley?
Grateley station, about 1.6 miles south of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Quarley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What time is best for food?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
