Christmas party fish and chips in London

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in London

Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. For festive gatherings after Christmas and depot Christmas treats, we can cook curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips for your guests.

For a Christmas party in London, a car park near the door is ideal, so nobody is out in the cold for long. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Looking after everyone

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • December Fridays go first: book early
  • Plan lighting near the hatch
  • Agree the spot with the venue
  • Confirm allergies by email

For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.

Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

FAQs for London

Which station is closest to London?

London has its own station: Elephant & Castle station.

Could you trade in Newington Gardens?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.

How much space do you need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Can the van come to London?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

How do you handle allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

What areas do you cover?

We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.

What happens on the day

On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your Christmas party. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in London; light the path to the van.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Have a level parking spot ready

What comes out of the fryer

Pie and chips

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Why book our van in London

  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • Bookings across Greater London, including London
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

  • Somewhere close to where people will eat

  • Confirmation that the van can park there

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Christmas parties in London: local tips

London is in Greater London. We serve Christmas parties at drives, car parks, yards and venues around London and nearby villages. We cover 764 places across Greater London.

Christmas fairs at a church such as St George the Martyr can book the van as a hot-food stall. The A2 and A10 make London easy to reach on a dark winter evening.

Wherever your Christmas party is in CR0, E14, CR4 and SW11, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Walcot Square, Surrey Square and Sutherland Square or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. Being close to the A2 and A10, London is easy for us to reach. For Christmas parties just outside London, we cover Walworth (1 mile south), Bermondsey (1 mile east), Camberwell (2 miles south), South Bermondsey (2 miles south-east) and Surrey Canal (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as City of Westminster (3 miles west), Marylebone (3 miles north-west), Kensington (5 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hampstead (5 miles north-west) and Ruislip (14 miles west). Being one of Greater London’s larger places, London has lots of places where the van can park.

Well-known places in the area include Gabriel's Wharf (0.8 miles north-west) and Museum of Life Sciences (within half a mile north-east). Within reach you’ll find Bellenden Road Nature Garden and St. James's Park Lake.

  • Nearby schools include London School of Musical Theatre (under half a mile west) and Ark Globe Academy (within half a mile south)

  • Local facilities include The BFI Reuben Library (1 mile north-west) and County of London (1.1 miles north)

Should I sort the food myself?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

For planners, venues and organisers

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

  • 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
