How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Tickleback Row

A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater festive gatherings after Christmas and office Christmas parties.

For a Christmas party near Tickleback Row, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Step by step

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. December in Tickleback Row means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.

Planning help

Outdoor catering in the rain: your wet-weather plan

Food your guests will love

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.

What a fish and chip van costs

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

Whether a minimum applies
Travel, tolls and road charges
Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Cod, haddock or both

Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Getting an accurate quote

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

Dietary needs, with numbers
Expected numbers
Where you’d like the van to go
Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Working with your venue

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

Flag any coeliac guests
Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Keep the queue dry
Collect allergies in advance

For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.

Festive lights by the van look great.

Common questions in Tickleback Row

Do you come out to small places like Tickleback Row?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Which station is closest to Tickleback Row?

Bracknell station, about 2.3 miles south of the centre.

Where can the van park?

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

Which areas do you serve?

We take the van across London and the South East, including Bracknell Forest. See all areas.

Do you take everything away?

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.

Do we need to provide equipment?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.

Is everything cooked fresh?

It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Tickleback Row?

A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
