Fresh fish and chips in Salden

Looking after everyone

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Plan cover for the queue
  • Flag any coeliac guests

Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.

Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Salden

We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for christmas socials for clubs and lights switch-on events.

Near Salden, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Why book with us

  • Rain does not stop the fryers
  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • No kitchen needed
  • Quick service from the hatch

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

What the van needs

We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:

  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • Access wide and high enough for the van

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we serve

Step by step

There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. Sunset in Salden in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

  1. You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
  3. We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
  4. We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
  5. Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.

Before we arrive

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Name one person we can call on the day

Salden questions

Which station is closest to Salden?

The closest is Bletchley station, roughly 3.7 miles away.

Is Salden close to London?

About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Is there a non-fish option?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.

When should we eat?

Food early on is generally wise. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.

Can you park on the road outside?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

How long does set-up take?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.

Do you take everything away?

We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, including Milton Keynes. Find your area.
