Christmas party fish and chips in Wanborough
Christmas party fish and chips in Wanborough, cooked to order
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for christmas customer days and club and society Christmas socials.
For a Christmas party near Wanborough, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Festive lights by the van look great.

Wanborough questions
Which station is closest to Wanborough?
The closest is Wanborough station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Wanborough?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Wanborough; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
