Christmas party fish and chips in Addington, cooked to order
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas customer days and family Christmas get-togethers.
Around Addington, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Addington
What’s the nearest station to Addington?
West Wickham station, about 1.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you trade in Addington Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Planning a Christmas party in Addington
Addington is about 3 miles south-east of Ashburton, in Greater London. For a Christmas party in Addington, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Addington.

If people are coming by rail, West Wickham station, about 1.7 miles north-east, is the nearest station. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Applegarth Academy, suit a chip van.
Wherever your Christmas party is in CR0, CR2 and BR4, we can bring the van to you. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Lodge Lane, Falconwood Road and Addington Village Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Addington, we also cover Coney Hall (1 mile north), Forestdale (1 mile south), Spring Park (1 mile north), New Addington (1 mile south-east) and Selsdon (1 mile south-west).

- Local schools include John Ruskin College (0.7 miles south-west)
- Other local spots include Addiscombe (2.7 miles north-west)
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
