Fresh fish and chips in West Hanney
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in West Hanney
It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. For PTA Christmas events and lights switch-on events, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In winter near West Hanney, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in West Hanney
Is West Hanney too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is West Hanney close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to West Hanney?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and West Hanney is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
