A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.

Questions from South Harefield
Can the van park in The Green?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is South Harefield close to London?
About 18 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
