About our Christmas party fish and chips in Yarnton
It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy, and we’re frequently booked for christmas socials for clubs and festive gatherings after Christmas.
In a small place like Yarnton, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Yarnton questions
Is Yarnton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Yarnton from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

- Confirm allergies by email

A bit of festive music by the van helps.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
