Sprig's Alley questions
What’s the nearest station to Sprig's Alley?
The closest is Saunderton station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van can be better value. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
