Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Radclive
Is Radclive too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Radclive from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
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.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Events in Radclive and across Buckinghamshire
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Occasions we serve in Radclive
It feels festive without being formal, and people talk about it.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in Radclive book the van for occasions like:

What your quote should include
- When final numbers are due
- Allergen information for each item
- Payment terms and deposit

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Collect allergies in advance
- Flag any coeliac guests
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Festive lights by the van look great.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- The length of service
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
