Temple: your questions answered
How far is Temple from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Temple?
The closest is Marlow station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Contact us with the date.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Temple
The van parks outside and serves hot food. Whether it’s work Christmas parties and lights switch-on events, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Temple, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Events we cater in Temple
There is no venue to book or taxis to arrange, because the van comes to you.
In Temple and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:
- Club and society Christmas socials

- Festive gatherings after Christmas
A winter fair at a school like Bisham Church of England Academy gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send round an allergy question
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Plan lighting near the hatch
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Sunset in Temple in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear 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.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
