How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Souldern
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for club and society Christmas socials and depot Christmas treats.
Near Souldern, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Souldern: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Souldern?
The closest is Kings Sutton station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
How far is Souldern from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening typically works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Souldern; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
