Christmas party fish and chips in Thornborough
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Thornborough
It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas fairs at schools and staff Christmas parties, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
In a small place like Thornborough, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Questions to ask before you book
- If the price includes VAT
- What happens if plans change
- Whether travel is included
- When final numbers are due
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Sunset in Thornborough 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.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

What affects the price in Thornborough
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
- Service time
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
FAQs for Thornborough
How far is Thornborough from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Thornborough too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Keep the queue dry
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
