A chip van near Whistley Green
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In December, it is dark in Whistley Green by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Whistley Green
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. Whether it’s office Christmas parties and club and society Christmas socials, we can cook curry sauce, cod and chips and gravy.
In winter near Whistley Green, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Other occasions in Whistley Green
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
