Christmas party fish and chips in Shenington, fried fresh
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. Whether it’s work Christmas parties and festive gatherings after Christmas, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas and more.
For a Christmas party near Shenington, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan cover for the queue
- Check the van can park on site
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Shenington, so put the van where there is good light.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is
- A photo of the parking spot
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

Shenington questions
Do you come out to small places like Shenington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Is the fish gluten-free?
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.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Shenington?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a chip van is hard to beat. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
