A chip van near Wooburn
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Wooburn
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. Typical bookings include work Christmas parties and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, with curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips.
In winter near Wooburn, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. An afternoon Christmas party in Wooburn can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.

Wooburn: your questions answered
How far is Wooburn from London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Wooburn?
Bourne End station, about 0.9 miles west of the centre.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
