Christmas party fish and chips in Twyford
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Christmas party fish and chips in Twyford, fried fresh
It suits teams on shifts, with service timed to each group. For christmas socials for clubs and christmas lunches for shift teams, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy for your guests.
For a Christmas get-together near Twyford, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. The frying and serving are down to us. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Twyford; light the path to the van.
- 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
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
What affects the price in Twyford
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
- Numbers
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. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Twyford
Can the van park in Loddon Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Is Twyford close to London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you come to Twyford?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Twyford and across Wokingham. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Check the van can park on site
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Collect allergies in advance
- Choose a lit spot for the van
Send people out in groups in the cold.
