Christmas party fish and chips in The City
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. December in The City means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day

About our Christmas party fish and chips in The City
The van parks outside and serves hot food. Popular choices include gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for office Christmas parties and christmas socials for clubs.
Near The City, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Festive bookings around The City
The City is about 5 miles north-west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. For Christmas parties in The City, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We take the van to all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire. Our bookings stretch from The City to Reading (about 15 miles away).
For anyone getting the train home after the party, the nearest station is Saunderton station, about 1.8 miles north-east. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Radnage Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. The City is within about 2 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
We cover Christmas parties in every part of HP14 and the streets around it. Local streets include Bottle Square Lane, Radnage Common Road and Green Lane; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For Christmas parties just outside The City, we cover Waterend (1 mile west), Beacon's Bottom (1 mile south-west), Radnage (1 mile north), Bennett End (1 mile north-west) and Green End (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Aylesbury (11 miles north), High Wycombe (5 miles south-east), Chesham (11 miles east), Marlow (7 miles south-east), Amersham (11 miles east) and Beaconsfield (10 miles east).
Nearby you will also find West Wycombe Rural (1.6 miles south-east) and Wycombe Hospital (5 miles south-east). Within reach you will find Yoesden and Bald Hill.
- Local pubs include The Crown pub (0.5 miles north-west)
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Keep the queue dry
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Confirm allergies by email
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
For event organisers in The City
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
The City: your questions answered
Which station is closest to The City?
The closest is Saunderton station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like The City?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Food early on is generally wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
