Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Trash Green
Which station is closest to Trash Green?
Theale station, about 1.4 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Trash Green close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Reading. See all areas.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Trash Green
The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for depot Christmas treats and festive gatherings after Christmas.
For a Christmas party near Trash Green, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Trash Green?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Send round an allergy question
- Book as early as possible for December
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your Christmas party. It gets dark in Trash Green by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
