Diets, allergies and planning

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Plan lighting near the hatch
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
  • Agree the spot with the venue
  • Confirm allergies by email

Send people out in groups.

Crackers on the tables finish it off.

For planners, venues and organisers

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: 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.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Takeaway run or book a van?

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 cooks in front of your guests instead.

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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Shenley

Is Shenley close to London?

About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.

What’s the nearest station to Shenley?

Milton Keynes Central station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.

Do you come to Shenley?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Shenley is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.

Can the van park on the street?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Can you cook in the rain?

The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

How soon do we need to book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Do you need power or water?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.

Do you do anything other than fish?

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Prices and what affects them

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • The length of service
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • How many people are eating
  • Parking and the way in

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What to tell us

These details help us quote quickly:

  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?

A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

Why book with us

  • Hot food handed straight over
  • No surprises in your quote
  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Perfect for your Christmas party in Shenley

Christmas dinner fatigue is real, so a chip van makes a nice change.

  • Christmas family parties

Shenley in December: what to know

Shenley is about 1 mile north of Westcroft, in Milton Keynes. From the centre of Shenley to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We cover 73 places across Milton Keynes.

A winter fair at a school like Christ the Sower Ecumenical Primary School (VA) gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. For colleagues travelling by train, the closest railway station is Milton Keynes Central station, roughly 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.

Here we cover the MK5, MK8 and MK4 postcode area, and we can serve your Christmas party anywhere in it. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Vache Lane, Oakhill Road and Wisewood Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Whitehouse (1 mile north-west) and Two Mile Ash (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Bletchley (3 miles south-east), Newport Pagnell (6 miles north-east), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (4 miles south-east), Middleton (4 miles north-east), Fenny Stratford (4 miles east) and Olney (11 miles north).

Other landmarks nearby include Bletchley Community Hospital (2.6 miles south-east) and Badminton Museum (1.6 miles north-east). Open spaces near Shenley include Blue Lagoon Park and Furzton Lake.

  • Nearby schools include The Hazeley Academy (0.5 miles north-west)
  • Pubs nearby include Nut & Squirrel pub (1 mile south)

The process

We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your Christmas party in Shenley. In December, it is dark in Shenley by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

  1. First, tell us about your Christmas party.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your guests.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Share the timings for the day
