Waterend questions
How far is Waterend from London?
About 35 miles from central London.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes. Send us your date and site details.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Waterend
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. Whether it is christmas fairs at schools and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Near Waterend, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Step by step

A winter fair at a school like Radnage Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. If people are coming by rail, Saunderton station is about 2.2 miles away.
