How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Yattendon
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. Typical bookings include boxing Day and New Year gatherings and work Christmas parties, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
In winter near Yattendon, we need firm ground and light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Yattendon questions
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Yattendon close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve in the cold?
The van copes fine. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
What time is best for food?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Keep the queue dry
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Check the van can park on site
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
