Christmas party fish and chips in Slough
Christmas party fish and chips in Slough, cooked to order
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, with service timed to each group. For christmas socials for clubs and end-of-year customer events, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, gravy and curry sauce and more.
In Slough, Christmas parties happen at offices, depots, clubs and homes. We need a level spot with good lighting. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December in Slough means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready

- Send allergies to us in writing
Plan cover for the queue.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Slough
How far is Slough from London?
About 22 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Herschel Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you come to Slough?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Slough and the rest of Slough. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
For event organisers in Slough
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
