Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Upper Eddington
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. Typical bookings include festive gatherings after Christmas and christmas lunches for shift teams, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In winter near Upper Eddington, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Upper Eddington questions
What’s the nearest station to Upper Eddington?
The closest is Hungerford station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Upper Eddington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
What affects the price in Upper Eddington
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Put allergy details in writing
Send people out in groups.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
