Swanbourne questions
Is Swanbourne too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Swanbourne from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
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.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. An afternoon Christmas party in Swanbourne can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
