A chip van compared with other options
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.

The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your Christmas party in Winkfield Row. An afternoon Christmas party in Winkfield Row can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

FAQs for Winkfield Row
Which station is closest to Winkfield Row?
The closest is Martins Heron station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Winkfield Row?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Winkfield Row? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
