How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Acton
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. For festive family gatherings and christmas lunches for shift teams, we can cook sausage and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
London Christmas parties in Acton are frequently at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Tell us about lighting and access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Where the van can park in Acton
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A spot near your guests
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Acton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Acton in December: what to know
Acton is about 3 miles west of Kensington, in Greater London. For Christmas parties in Acton, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Acton. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London. Our bookings stretch from Acton to London (about 7 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Dominion Cinema draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Derwentwater Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.
For Christmas parties in W3, W4, NW10 and W12, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on High Street, Church Road and Woodhurst Road, wherever the van can park. Being close to the B490 and A4000, Acton is easy for us to reach with the van. Other places close to Acton we cover include Acton Vale (1 mile east), Acton Green (1 mile south), Bedford Park (1 mile south), Hanger Hill (1 mile north-west) and South Acton (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also take the van to London (7 miles east), City of Westminster (5 miles east), Marylebone (5 miles east), Kensington (3 miles east), St Pancras (6 miles east) and Shoreditch (8 miles east).

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Keep the queue dry
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Plan cover for the queue.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December in Acton means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Make sure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
