Christmas party fish and chips in Turnfurlong, cooked to order
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. We are often asked to cater office Christmas parties and PTA Christmas events, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Turnfurlong, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
FAQs for Turnfurlong
Which station is closest to Turnfurlong?
Aylesbury station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
When should we book for December?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In December, it’s dark in Turnfurlong by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
