How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Temple Park
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. Whether it is christmas lunches for shift teams and PTA Christmas events, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
In Temple Park, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Questions from Temple Park
How far is Temple Park from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Temple Park?
Bracknell station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Food early on is normally wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
What do you bring?

Temple Park in December: what to know
Temple Park is about 1 mile north-west of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. Wherever your Christmas party is in the RG42 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. We take the van to all 41 towns and villages in Bracknell Forest, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 9 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Meadow Vale Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Andrew draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.
Here we cover the RG42 and RG12 postcode area. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Wood Lane, Park Lane and Jock's Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Priestwood (1 mile south-east), Binfield (1 mile west), Farley Wood (1 mile south-west), Popeswood (1 mile south-west) and Quelm Park (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as Sandhurst (5 miles south), Forest Park (3 miles south-east), The Warren (3 miles south-east), College Town (6 miles south), Little Sandhurst (5 miles south) and Birch Hill (3 miles south).
A little further out are Pinewood Hospital (2.9 miles south) and The Lexicon (1.1 miles south-east). Within reach you will find Heath Lake and Holt Copse & Joel Park.
- Schools near Temple Park include Garth Hill College (1.2 miles east)
- Local pubs include Stag And Hounds Public House (0.6 miles north)
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. December in Temple Park means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
