About our Christmas party fish and chips in Tongwell
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. Popular choices include mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for christmas family parties and end-of-year club parties.
For a Christmas party near Tongwell, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. December in Tongwell means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check the van can park on site
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Where the van can park in Tongwell

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Events we cater in Tongwell

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
