DIY versus a fish and chip van

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Weston questions
What’s the nearest station to Weston?
Sholing station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Could you trade in Westwood Woodland Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Put allergy details in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Plan cover for the queue
Afterwards, we pack up.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your Christmas party. An afternoon Christmas party in Weston can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
