How it works
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. December in Stoke Mandeville means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Stoke Mandeville questions
Is Stoke Mandeville close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Stoke Mandeville?
Stoke Mandeville station, in Stoke Mandeville itself.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
