About our Christmas party fish and chips in Stoke Charity
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. For boxing Day and New Year gatherings and office Christmas parties, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In a small place like Stoke Charity, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A chip van gives a choice. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Stoke Charity, so put the van where there’s good light.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat

FAQs for Stoke Charity
How far is Stoke Charity from London?
About 58 miles from central London.
Is Stoke Charity too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Contact us with the date.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
